I really like the way that the author puts all of the information together. She covers all of the basics very fast with really simple examples. The fact that she uses the same basic example though out the entire CSS set of chapters makes it possible to introduce a lot more concepts without having to show all of the html for every single page. I think that the writing style is perfect for a beginner.



I have already used many of the things that I have learned in this book. She covers html forms but the book does not cover how to use the forms. I understand the reason that she could not cover how to use forms becuase this is a huge subject that is worthy of a book of its own.



The book is filled with websites that have more information on various subjects. The web pages could be used to help increase your understanding on a subject.



This book is an excellent starting point for learning html and CSS. It is not a win all book. If you are going to get this book I would also advise getting the book published by O'Reilly Dynamic HTML. I have not read the book Dynamic HTML but I have used it as a reference book and it fills in where the Spring into book leaves off.



A few complaints. In one of the early chapters the author talks about HTML Character entities and says that there is a list of many of the common entities in the appendix of the book. I have searched the appendices of the book and was unable to find the list. I had to turn to the Dynamic HTML book to find it.



I don't think this is a learn all, win all book but I think for me it was a huge help. The sections are short and well written. I will pick this book up if I want to remember how to do something really fast.



I don't know if I would say it is a must read for aspiring web developers but I don't think it is a bad read. I give this a great recommendation on ease of reading and being really clear on the subjects that it does tackle. I don't think the book has very much depth. I don't think it should be discounted because of that. I just think the reader should be aware of this fact.
