HTML and CSS remain the linchpin of the Web. Every beginning web developer needs to understand them thoroughly — including the latest advances in these standards, and the newest techniques based on them. For decades, web professionals have turned to HTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide as the fastest and most practical way to gain that understanding. Now, this full-color guide has been thoroughly updated by a new author who’s taught thousands of beginning web developers.

Drawing on his extensive teaching experience, Casabona offers well-honed explanations that learners will understand, whether they’re working on their own or in classroom environments. From the basics to advanced techniques, he guides you through:
  • Designing, structuring, and formatting sites

  • Adding media, visual effects, and animations
  • Using CSS to gain full control over elements, fonts, colors, and layouts
  • Making the most of sophisticated HTML5 and CSS3 capabilities
  • Applying modern best practices for ensuring accessibility and responsiveness, and building high-performance progressive web apps
