I picked up this book as it was available in my library and I wanted to brush up my html/css skills because the last time I read about html was way back in 2000 when I first created a web site for a college competition. My professional life so far has been mostly involved in databases so I never really got to do much on web applications. But now I work on a web app which uses html/css and Javascript extensively. This book was perfect for me since it was very easy to follow and each page has an exercise which really helps in better understanding the concepts. And for the kind of learner that I am that was perfect.
It gives a good description of html and css and ways to make your site usable for disabled users as well. It also explains the best practices, standards of XHTML and workarounds for cross browser compatibilities. A brief introduction to Javascript is also given at the end of the book which is pretty good for a learner. It also gave some explanation on how to use google maps etc. On the whole this was a really good book to brush up on html/css and written in such a way that you can finish this book in less than a week.
