Website Creation and Style "How-To" Book Recommendation

Print This Post
In case any of you out there are edtech geeks with a hankering to learn XHTML and CSS to build your own (or modify other) websites, I’m working through Ian Lloyd’s Build Your Own Website the Right Way - Using HTML and CSS (Sitepoint Press). I highly recommend it. It’s easy, it’s got a great support forum and website, and they offer discounts on other books they publish on Java, advanced CSS, php, mysql databases, and all the rest.
I’m loving it. If you think it’s hard, Lloyd’s book will show you you’re wrong. And if you buy it from the website, I think you get a discount on the Amazon price.
Just FYI.

As usual, just the type of material I was looking for. I promised myself that I would ramp up my inner geek this summer, and this one looks like a great starting point.
Thanks!

Glad you found it helpful.
In one day, I’ve made an html index for the “globally cool” community service 2.0 project, plus an “about us” and a “contact us” page.
Images, links, correct xhtml markup. No color, style, or css yet, but I’m already 1/8 of the way through the book in one day.
It’ll come.
It’s very cool. I’m going to make a “Seoul Jazz” website in addition, using this, just for fun. Will save me from the tabs for $10 martinis.
Let’s Skype soon, Patrick. It’s time we talked, isn’t it? I feel like I know you already. Web 2.0’s a trip.
