Just published: Murach's
HTML, XHTML, and CSS
|
|
|
 |
It's been a long time coming, but all the major browsers now support the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to format and lay out HTML/XHTML content. So if you're not using CSS to the fullest, you're missing out on a powerful and efficient way to design web pages.
Still, the coordination between
HTML/XHTML and CSS can be tricky and the options
can be overwhelming…which is why the tough details
are so often glossed over or ignored in other
books and training materials. But now, our new
HTML, XHTML, and
CSS book gives you the logical, concise, and
learn-by-doing approach to web development that
you've been waiting for.

And it's a subject that's glossed over or ignored
in most other books.
But now, you can go from JavaScript beginner to DOM scripting expert in a single book! Fast-paced, professional, and packed with expert practices, our JavaScript book guides you through each step as you learn how to program sites that enhance the user experience and ensure browser compatibility.
