Learn HTML & CSS - a book that teaches you in a nicer way

[Owen Densmore]

A lot of us tolerate the usual interface to HTML/CSS .. Dreamweaver et al, but don't feel comfortable with the raw syntax and are a bit overwhelmed by all the tags, encodings and so on.

This really is the Book Different for folks the rest of us.. rather than reading like a text book, its far gentler and absolutely beautiful as well.

Definitely the right approach: from a designer's perspective rather than a hacker's.  I'm getting it just so that I can look at web-tech through designer's eye's.

But wait, there's more: they have a lot of web support:

I hope Jon Duckett gets rich!

Indeed this looks like a quality book. I am using Head First Labs (a pun), and that seems pretty good.

I think anyone creating content for the web needs to know both good programming and good design, so we can avoid massively large gifs, and also accessibly laid-out sites. The two disciplines depend on each other for a usable finished product.
