Synopsis:

Whether working as a laboratory scientist, a mechanical engineer, an attorney, or virtually any other profession, the need or desire to use HTML effectively arises often. The Web has become an essential publishing medium for knowledge workers of all stripes. Yet web design and development has become an extremely complex field, with many sub-fields. For the smart, educated reader who is not a web professional, trying to find clear resources on how to create well-authored pages quickly and easily is increasingly difficult. Spring Into HTML and CSS solves this problem by paring down HTML and CSS into a series of easy-to-understand single-page and facing-page tutorials, while simultaneously teaching contemporary best practices. The book is written in a conversational style. Code samples and screen shots are included in each tutorial, as well as "quantum leaps"--techniques that show the reader how to apply what they've just learned to solve more complex problems. Templates and sample files are also provided to help readers quickly understand more complex problems by working directly with samples.
