Here is what our customers are saying about this product.

"Excellent book. I did quite a lot of HTML and CSS programming some years ago, but then took a break for a few years. Now I've decided to start all over again but wanted to catch up with the latest standards and practices and "get it all right", which I probably never really have before. This book has been perfect for this, and I'll recommend it to anyone whether you're completely new to web design or just need to catch up with the latest stuff and correct some of your bad programming habits. The book is well written and structured also. Thanks!"

"This book was a fantastic read. I highly recommend it. The content kept me involved and interested from beginning to end. Usually I get bored with these books and don't finish after I have found the specifics that brought me in the first place. I finished this book completely in two days including the site build.
Thanks Ian. Onto HTML Utopia."

"Just finished up this book and it was extremely helpful. Lloyd makes it more of a fun project than a huge task to learn all this stuff."

"I'm new to web design but have a strong graphic background. This book has weaned me off of Dreamweaver and started me on the path of learning my craft by hand-coding! What a wonderful way to learn. If I ever return to Dreamweaver at least I'll know what I'm doing and why.

"Thanks to Ian and the Sitepoint community for all your support.

"Excellent, if you want to learn about basic HTML and CSS concepts then this is for you, the lessons and approach are ideal. Will be buying more in the series."

"May be the best technical book I've read in 30+ years of application development. Even though I'm not a beginning web page designer, I still learned a lot of useful techniques (and discovered faux pas I am guilty of).

"I really appreciated the structured way the author presents his material, with solid background information and workable examples (100% success rate building the examples -- how rare is this?!?).

"I'm looking forward to using these techniques, and can't wait for the new edition. Congratulations to the author! A truly fine effort. Bravo!"

"I am glad to have your book, as a guide to building my site that I am making sure everyone that comes to my page knows what book taught me.

"Thank YOU!"

"This book is great!! It gives you the foundation to build websites the right way. I have built a handful of websites before this book and I didn't realize how many bad habits I had until I read this book. I believe this book is for everyone, especially if you are a beginner in web design."

Jonathan Passley , 14 Jul 2008 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"I am relatively new to web development. Most of my background is in desktop development where I have been a huge supporter or separating interface from implementation so I warm right up to the concept of separating content from presentation from behavior.

"Here where I work the web developers have been using tables and inline formatting.

"Although by no means exhaustive, this book gave me a great deal of insight into the possibilites CSS presents for formatting objects on a web page."

Pamela Thalacker , 29 May 2008 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"I received this book on Thursday, started reading it Friday afternoon and had the site built and up by Sunday night. What an awesome book. I've just purchased 2 more so I hope they're up to the same standard. Mind you, everything else I've seen on this site has been of great quality so they should be good.

"Thanks again Sitepoint (and Particularly Ian) for making learning web design not just fun but affordable!"

Tim Inglis , 20 May 2008 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"Very good book, particularly helpful in the explanation of how css works - would definitely recommend it."

Helen Francks , 5 May 2008 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"Books were received promptly, well packed and in perfect condition. As I was told, the book seems to be the ultimate in its subject matter."

Carl D Brown , 3 May 2008 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"Excellent book as an introduction. It definitely feeds the learning bug..."

Nick Parry , 27 Apr 2008 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"This book is very useful and very easy for me to understand. It gave me a good understanding of website building and kept my interest!"
