2. The Essential Guide to CSS & HTML Web Design (Essentials)

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, March 12th, 2010

   Having done some web design using DW4 I thought I knew something about web page construction. Now having read only the first few chapters I realise how little I understood. This book is an excellent reference covering the historical aspects of visual text presentation all the way to
   the complex aspects of CSS. I certainly recommend this as a must read and good value. The Essential Guide to CSS & HTML Web Design (Essentials)

3. Basics and More

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12th, 2010

   This is an excellent book for learning HTML and CSS, it teaches up to date technologies and how the technologies should be used. Most HTML books teach you the basics i.e. this tag does this, that tag does that, but it doesn't tell you things like how to create drop down menu's, even though thats JavaScript, and good ways to create a navigation method. It doesn't just teach you HTML and CSS, it teaches you web design too. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn HTML and CSS and wants to be a web developer/designer.

4. Designing Web Sites in the Right Way

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12th, 2010

   This book has shown me how to design web sites in the correct way, i.e. the way it should be done. Separating style from content is fundamental to good design and has the added benefit of aiding maintainability. Through the study of this book I have become aware that I have been using bad practices in my web site design. My latest web site is based on the good practices advocated in this book and it is significantly better in a multitude of different ways than any of the web sites I have developed in the past.
   
   The book is very well structured with good examples and explanations. The reference section at the back has proved to be invaluable.
   
   I have no hesitation in recommending this book to new and established web designers.
