Learn Enough HTML, CSS and Layout to be Dangerous: An Introduction to Modern Website Creation and Templating Systems, 1st edition

All You Need to Know, and Nothing You Don't, to Start Creating and Deploying Web Sites

To design, build, and deploy modern websites, you need three core skills: the ability to write and edit HTML, wield CSS to control page design, and create efficient web layouts that serve users well. But you don't need to learn "everything" about HTML, CSS and web layout, just how to use them efficiently to solve real problems. In Learn Enough HTML, CSS and Layout to Be Dangerous, expert developer Lee Donahoe and renowned instructor Michael Hartl teach the specific concepts, skills, and approaches you need to get the job done.

Even if you've never created a web page, the authors help you quickly build technical sophistication and master the lore you need to succeed. Focused exercises help you internalise what matters, without wasting time on details pros don't care about.
