Book Description
Almost all web designers use Cascading Sheets to control the presentation of the websites they construct out of HTML. Why learn one and then the other when you can just as easily—and much more effectively—learn both at the same time? This book's integrated approach speeds your progress and leaves you with a stronger, more cohesive set of skills. Inside, you'll learn about: - Writing well-structured HTML for use by any web-capable device
- Designing page layouts using CSS
- Controlling fonts, colors, backgrounds, borders, and margins
- Using lists to create attractive, button-like menus
- Using images as backgrounds, links, page content, and decoration
- Creating and styling forms
- Personalizing your weblog
- Understanding and applying design and usability principles
- Publishing and testing your pages
- Validating your code
- Making pages accessible to all visitors
Throughout the book you'll find real-world examples of effective CSS-based pages.
Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Customer Reviews & Comments
There are many books out there that teach HTML, and many that teach CSS, but no other that I have found that combine HTML and CSS, or that clearly explains both the theory and techniques of modern web design in language that beginners can understand. It's truly a hands on book, a combination of guide, tutorial and reference, targeted to beginner and intermediate web designers, that carefully and clearly guides readers through the process of planning and building universally accessible websites that conform to web standards. It emphasizes thinking the total project through to create designs that work from ground up - thinking about content first, then planning, structuring and building. Each chapter is carefully structured and clearly explained, and gives you everything you need to complete a given task. My background is in design and marketing, and I've found other books about CSS design to be confusing, unnecessarily theoretical and technical. Where other books are dry, complicated, and often esoteric, this book is focused on plain and simple answers with which even the newest beginners can build standards based sites. It makes learning fun and is focused on real world issues. "Integrated HTML and CSS" is truly "A Smarter, Faster Way to Learn." It is the perfect book for anyone thinking of building a web site, or for learning modern coding techniques based on CSS and web standards.
