Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML PDF Free Download, Reviews, Read Online, ISBN: 059610197X, By Elisabeth Freeman, Elisabeth Robson, Eric T Freeman. Tired of reading HTML books that only make sense after you're an expert? Then it's about time you picked up the newly revised Head First HTML and CSS and really. You also want to do it right so you can actually maintain and expand your Web pages over time, and so your web pages work in all the browsers and mobile devices out there. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay - we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999 - but if you're going to create Web pages in the 21st century then you'll want to know and understand CSS. Learn the real secrets of creating Web pages, and why everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and his CSS is in an external style sheet. With Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking web-safe colors still matter, and the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put you to sleep. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load HTML, CSS, and XHTML into your brain in a way that sticks. So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to begin. 'Elegant design is at the core of every chapter here, each concept conveyed with equal doses of pragmatism and wit.' --Ken Goldstein, Executive Vice President, Disney Online 'This book is a thoroughly modern introduction to forward-looking practices in web page markup and presentation.' --Danny Goodman, author of Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Guide 'What used to be a long trial and error learning process has now been reduced neatly into an engaging paperback.' --Mike Davidson, CEO, Newsvine, Inc. 'I love Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML--it teaches you everything you need to learn in a 'fun coated' format!' --Sally Applin, UI Designer and Artist 'I haven't had as much fun reading a book (other than Harry Potter) in years. And your book finally helped me break out of my hapless so-last-century way of creating web pages.' --Professor David M. Arnow, Department of Computer and Information Science, Brooklyn College 'If you've ever had a family member who wanted you to design a website for them, buy them Head First HTML with CSS and XHTML. If you've ever asked a family member to design you a web site, buy this book.

This is the learning system you've been waiting for.' --Warren Kelly, Blogcritics.org Table of Contents. • Chapter 1 Getting to Know HTML: The Language of the Web • The Web Video killed the radio star • What does the Web server do? • What does the Web browser do? • What you write (the HTML). • What the browser creates. • Your big break at Starbuzz Coffee • Creating the Starbuzz Web page • Creating an HTML file (Mac) • Creating an HTML file (Windows) • Meanwhile, back at Starbuzz Coffee. • Saving your work. • Opening your Web page in a browser • Taking your page for a test drive. • Are we there yet? • Another test drive. • Tags dissected. • Meet the style element • Giving Starbuzz some style. • Cruisin’ with style. • Chapter 2 Going Further, with Hypertext: Meeting the ‘HT’ in HTML • Head First Lounge, New and Improved • Creating the new lounge • What did we do? • What does the browser do? • Understanding attributes • Getting organized • Organizing the lounge. • Technical difficulties • Planning your paths. • Fixing those broken images. • Chapter 3 Building Blocks: Web Page Construction • From Journal to Web site, at 12mph • The rough design sketch • From a sketch to an outline • From the outline to a Web page • Test driving Tony’s Web page • Adding some new elements • Meet the element •.and check out the test drive. • Looooong Quotes • Adding a • The real truth behind the and mystery • Meanwhile, back at Tony’s site. • Of course, you could use the element to make a list. • Constructing HTML lists in two easy steps • Taking a test drive through the cities • Putting one element inside another is called “nesting” • To understand the nesting relationships, draw a picture • Using nesting to make sure your tags match • Chapter 4 Getting Connected: A Trip to Webville • Getting Starbuzz (or yourself) onto the Web • Finding a hosting company • HELLO, my domain name is. • How can you get a domain name? • Moving in • Getting your files to the root folder • As much FTP as you can possibly fit in two pages • Back to business. • Mainstreet, URL • What is the HTTP Protocol? • What’s an Absolute Path? • How default pages work • How do we link to other Web sites? • Linking to Caffeine Buzz • And now for the test drive. • Web page fit and finish • The title test drive. • Linking into a page • Using the element to create a destination • How to link to destination anchors • Linking to a new window • Opening a new window using target • Chapter 5 Adding Images to Your Pages: Meeting the Media • How the browser works with images • How images work •: it’s not just relative links anymore • Always provide an alternative • Sizing up your images • Creating the ultimate fan site: myPod • Check out myPod’s “index.html” file • Whoa!

She is currently Special Projects Director at O'Reilly where she is developing new brain-friendly learning ideas and products. • Eric T FreemanEric Freeman is a computer scientist with a passion for media and software architectures and coauthor of Head First Design Patterns. He just wrapped up four years at a dream job-- directing internet broadband and wireless efforts at Disney--and is now back to writing, creating cool software, and hacking Java and Macs. Eric spent a lot of the '90s working on alternatives to the desktop metaphor with David Gelernter (and they're both still asking the question, 'Why do I have to give a file a name?' Based on this work, Eric landed a Ph.D. At Yale University in 1997. He also co-founded Mirror Worlds Technologies (now acquired) to create a commercial version of his thesis work, Lifestreams. In a previous life, Eric built software for networks and supercomputers. You might know him from such books as JavaSpaces Principles Patterns and Practice. Eric has fond memories of implementing tuple-space systems on Thinking Machine CM-5s and creating some of the first internet information systems for NASA in the late 1980s. When he's not writing text or code you'll find him spending more time tweaking than watching his home theater and trying to restore a circa 1980s Dragon's Lair video game. He also wouldn't mind moonlighting as an electronica DJ. Write to him at eric at wickedlysmart dot com or visit him.
