Learning HTML and CSS - Book Reccomendations

I currently use photoshop to slice & create my sites however I think now it is time for me to start coding my sites from the ground up. Which books are really useful for complete begginingers?

 

You don't need a book. Go to the web and start on tutorials of HTML/CSS.
The W3C school is a good start. Once you have the basics, you can turn to tips and tricks or look into designers/devloper books.
But spending money to learn the basics of HTML is quite a waste.

 

id recommend "Teach yourself Visually: Web Design". Its a great book, lots of images and step to step guides, so its hard to not understand this book I bought it, and i didnt regret buying it! Money well spent.

However, if u cant be bothered to spend cash (Its 18 GBP lol...) I have the torrent as well, its a PDF i think, so u can read it on the computer while trying it out

I would recommend the book though, its nicer to have something to read when ure bored

 

there is so many on line tutorials which can guide you step by step used them with examples

 

I highly recommend 30 Days to Learn HTML & CSS by Jeffrey Way, a series of free video tutorials that will take you all the way from the basics of HTML and CSS to hand-coding your first website.

Also included in the videos are best practices and lots of tips for future reference.

I wish I'd found this series when I started out - I had to learn the hard way, via books and website tutorials. I personally find videos more engaging and demonstrative

 

www.w3schools.com schools is great learning website for HTML and CSS.

 

Good suggestions have been made already about code references. I also like http://www.htmldog.com/

Another book that helps A LOT with design issues (not coding), "Don't Make Me Think," by Steven Krug. Brilliant.

 

check w3school.com for easy and objective ways

 

I operate a review site focused on books/courses for learning programming languages. You should check it out - http://www.ecoursify.com/.

I agree that w3schools is a great resource. However, it isn't really a step-by-step guide to get you started.

Personally, I think the Visual Quickstart series of books is best for learning any programming language. You can check out my review here: http://www.ecoursify.com/visual-quickstart-html-xml-css/

My next review I'm posting will be on the free Tuts+ course listed above. That's definitely another great resource.

 

Check out Lynda.com - awesome video tutorials for $25/month.

You can learn a ton of CSS & HTML by borrowing from existing websites. If you have a Mac, Google and download a free app called SiteSucker. You can download an entire website - any website - and begin to pull apart their CSS & HTML.

 

learning html and css is very easy if you want to learn html you also use this site w3school.com in this very good designing help.

 

Yes that's Right,
W3Schools is very nice for beginner. W3schools learn you point to point and start to end it's really

 

I love the tutsplus tutorials. There are several other free related tuts you can check out.

 

I know I'm not the OP, but I've got similar interests. Thanks for the links and hints everyone.
