About this ebook
Tired of reading HTML books that only make sense after you're an expert? Then it's about time you picked up Head First HTML and really learned HTML. You want to learn HTML so you can finally create those web pages you've always wanted, so you can communicate more effectively with friends, family, fans, and fanatic customers. You also want to do it right so you can actually maintain and expand your web pages over time so they work in all browsers and mobile devices. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay--we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999--but if you're going to create web pages in the 21st century then you'll want to know and understand CSS.
Learn the real secrets of creating web pages, and why everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and his CSS is in an external style sheet.
With Head First HTML, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking web-safe colors still matter, and the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put you to sleep. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load HTML and CSS into your brain in a way that sticks.
So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to begin.

Because the pages have been scanned, some of the (very useful) manuscript entries adjacent to the spine are incomplete (the same problem that occurs when you try to photocopy both pages of a book - the bit in the middle is sometimes distorted). This is often more than just an irritation: useful information can be lost. A disappointing feature of an otherwise excellent book.

we've experienced a problem.... i constantly get this error on THIS book only. any other book i have downloaded from google play books works fine on my asus chromebook. I have deleted and redownloaded it many times, i've deleted it from my library and redownloaded it from google play. i have cleared my cache in the books app and the play store but like clockwork every 2ish minutes this error returns. the book and app works fine on my iphone (ironic cause i usually hate apple) through google play books app. So i contacted google and they transferred me to the Chromebook department after I told them what i already tried, and then the Chromebook department was like " we can only help you if you have a pixel 3 chromebook but what you are describing doesnt sound like a hardware issue its an issue with the app"
