HTML and CSS QuickStart Guide: The Simplified Beginners Guide to Developing a Strong Coding Foundation, Building Responsive Websites, and Mastering ... (Coding & Programming - QuickStart Guides)

One of the standout features of this book is its stunning design. Each page is meticulously crafted with vibrant colors, clear diagrams, and engaging layouts, making complex concepts easy to understand and visually appealing.But beyond its aesthetics, the content itself is top-notch. Duckett breaks down HTML and CSS in a way that’s approachable and easy to digest. Whether you’re learning the basics of structuring web pages with HTML or delving into the intricacies of styling with CSS, the book provides clear explanations and practical examples every step of the way.

I am using this book as a supplement to my certificate program. Having an additional reference or alternative perspective on resolving various coding situations is helpful. The authors' readability and simple approach are beneficial. Simple is always better.

I really like this book. Easy to understand and very good to go back and reread what I missed or don't understand...

The media could not be loaded.  It’s easy to follow and understand, like putting a puzzle together following step by step instructions eventually feeling more and more confident. You will learn how to build a website starting with HTML. Love the exercises and snippets. If you never used VS code text editor, I suggest watching video on social media about VScode editor if you use this book. VS is a great code editor and it’s free. Pro tip- install live preview from extensions from your explorer pane, it saves time refreshing a browser to see your work and refreshes in real time as you build and style your pages. The book will go into detail about more technical terms as you move through the chapters. I am a student in Front End Web development and everything internet. This book does a good job identifying some of the technical terms of how browsers display HTML documents in a viewport leading up to responsive design. This book is beginner friendly. I don’t think you need any knowledge of HTML, or CSS to start with this book. You don’t need to be an IT technician either, just a simple understanding of how the internet works. You do need to have an interest in learning to code though because it can be a learning curve. Persistence, patience, and lots of practice will make you successful and that’s the payoff. Buy with confidence!

This book is well written, lots of good examples, great for the first time HTML developer

The author does a good job of breaking down the concepts related to html and css. I would recommend this book to people who are interested in learning html and css at their own pace.

I am sure this is a wonderful introduction for someone who already knows a bit about coding. But for the absolute beginner, it leaves much to be desired. It assumes more experience than most people starting from scratch would normally have. This is a common problem with texts by professionals who do not get input from amateurs.

The book appears well written

The book is well written. There are many clear examples and addition web resource reference materials.One interesting chapter was on workflow with GIT. It's not super detailed but gets you going in the right direction in using GIT for version control.I highly recommend this book especially for the price.

Sou iniciante e estou gostando muito!! O livro é bastante didático sem perder qualidade de conteúdo. O autor é um profissional experiente, ensina o máximo possível para que o usuário consiga criar uma página web moderna e bonita com html5 e css3. É atualizado (2021) e dá acesso ao repositório do curso no Github. Tudo é bem explicado. (é necessário saber criar pastas e arquivos e também é desejável saber uma configuração mínima do vs code, embora ele dê a opção de se utilizar qualquer editor de texto). Recomendo!!

This book i actually liked. One of the few programming books that is good. There is code snippets included to explain different things, that is one thing that is missing from alot of books in this category.Be aware this book is for absolute beginners, if you are looking for more advanced stuff you should look elsewhere but if you just have started this can help you.

The book is well structured and easy to follow. Note: I have a lot of programming experience and this gives a definite edge if you have similar experience. It covers the directories and files found in a typical website and has a lot of useful snippets (HTML) as examples and for use in the exercises. After about 20 hours I’ve created a basic, functioning website and there is still much to learn from this book. Well worth the money. NB: invest in a decent HTML editor (I use BB Edit, about £40 a year for the licence). Do not rely on a simple text editor. You can use a text editor to create files but it’s a lot of work and provides no useful tools.

A logical approach and easy enough to understand.
