HTML and CSS for Beginners Simon Smart

If you want to learn practical HTML skills in the shortest time possible, this is the course for you. The course's examples use free software, meaning you don't need to make any additional purchases.

Unlike many other courses, this book works entirely with practical examples. You won't be slowed down by long explanations and instead will get started doing useful work immediately and will be able to begin creating and editing HTML web pages after just a few lessons.

Many other HTML courses try to teach absolutely every feature of HTML, including features that are obscure or obsolete.

This course is different. It focuses entirely on practical and useful HTML skills and won't slow you down by trying to teach skills that you don't need. This course also focuses on creating pages that will be supported by all major web browsers rather than pages that may only work on specific browsers.

While this isn't a reference book, it contains a complete listing of HTML tags and CSS properties, making it useful for reference purposes even after you complete the course.
