Sams Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML and XHTML in 21 Days, Third Edition (3rd Edition)

Editorial Review:

Sams Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML & XHTML in 21 Days, Third Edition is a new edition of the best-selling Laura Lemay book that started the whole HTML/Web publishing phenomenon.

This edition of the book includes coverage of the latest developments in HTML and Web publishing, including the effects of XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 on Web publishing practices, the new generation of browsers from Microsoft and Netscape, improvements and changes in Web publishing tools, and developments in Web scripting and programming.

None of them are perfect, but Lemay's... more info

The definitive beginners XHTML guide:

I picked up this book in March, 2002 with no prior knowledge of HTML. In less than three weeks I learned how to create good-looking web pages, featuring Cascading Style Sheets, in XHTML (the latest revision of HTHL).

Reading and working through the examples of this book has enabled me to create my own website... more info
