Great Introduction to HTML5 & CSS3!, Mar 8 2011
By Web Guru "techlady2002" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Basics of Web Design: HTML5 & CSS3 (Paperback)
We'll use this book in a community college course for both online and face-to-face classes. The full-color book is engaging for students. The two-page topics are geared towards students who may be more visually oriented and who don't want to read a lot. The hands-on practice exercises encourage students to apply what they've just learned. The students really like the hands-on approach with examples, practice exercises, and case studies. This textbook focuses on how to use HTML5 and CSS3 today and while introducing new elements and techniques that will be utilized in the future. Where appropriate, both XHTML and HTML5 syntax are discussed. There is also excellent coverage of web standards, web design best practices, accessibility, usability, and search engine optimization techniques. A bonus is the textbook's companion website at webdevbasics.net that has a page for each chapter with chapter links, additional information, flash review puzzles,and chapter updates.

Lots of Spelling Errors and a Few Coding Errors, May 16 2011
By Tyler Whitney "--Tyler" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Basics of Web Design: HTML5 & CSS3 (Paperback)
Overall the book is Okay. I think its great for beginners and its an excellent resource for folks updating to HTML5 standards and CSS3, because that really is the way to go these days. Unfortunately, I ran into a few issues within code, some places there were colons (:) where there were supposed to be semi-colons (;) in the actual HTML code listed. This is specifically in Hands on Practice 2.9, for the code for a space " " is listed as " :" twice by accident.Also, the Hands-on-Practice, though very basic, was helpful. I think it should leave more up to the student rather than giving all the code, but then again, it really is just designed for the student to SEE the output of the code that they are working with in the book, so its okay. The end of the chapters really do a better job allowing students to work for themselves. Hands on practice 8.255 is listed twice as another typo, listed on 204 and then AGAIN on 209 when its supposed to be 8.7.
Need some better editors/technical writers to check out the book.

Great book!, Jun 29 2011

This review is from: Basics of Web Design: HTML5 & CSS3 (Paperback)
I bought this book because it was required for a web development class. This book is well written and easy to understand. The student files that come with it are great. If for some reason, you can't get your code to work, you can reference the student files as working examples. The hands-on exercises are extremely valuable.
Listmania!
