This book will show you how to create documents of your own so you can share them on the web. Youll become intimately familiar with the rules and constructs of HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the computer language the web is built on. Its a simple language, and the basic rules are easy to pick up and put to use. HTML is a tool, and once you know how to use it, youre limited only by your imagination.
This book is for anyone interested in learning how to build web pages from the ground up using modern best practices. We assume youre familiar with the Internet and the World Wide Web, and you probably wouldnt pick up a book with HTML in the title unless youd at least heard of it. Beyond that, we dont assume any prior knowledge of web design or computer programming. As you advance through this book, the topics get a little more advanced as well. But fear not: this is a book for beginners, and well walk you through the tough parts.
Even if youre not a beginner, this may be well worth a read. Only a few short years ago, the common approach to building web pages was very different from how things are done today. A lot has changed in recent times, so if youre a more experienced web developer looking to get back to basics and see what all this semantic XHTML and CSS mumbo-jumbo is about, this is the book for you.
Here we present a brief road map of where this book is going to take you. The first two chapters lead you through the bare essentials youll need to start creating your own web documents. Throughout the bulk of this book, Chapters 3 through 10, youll dig into different subject areas within HTML and XHTML, becoming familiar with all of the different elements at your disposal. Along the way, youll also see examples of some of the many CSS techniques you might use to visually design your pages. We finish up with Chapter 11, where youll see a case study that takes much of what youve learned throughout the previous chapters and puts it together into a functional website, built from scratch with XHTML and CSS.
