Synopsis

There isn't a web site out there-- whether it be WhiteHouse.gov, IBM.com or the site for your local high school-- that isn't written in HTML. If you do any level of web development-- from editing pages on a Wordpress site to designing original pages from scratch, understanding and being able to code in HTML and CSS can give you a level of control, and power over your designs that you've never experienced before. This course helps you learn the HTML and CSS you need to know now (versions 4.01 and XHTML) as well as prepares you for the future with coverage of HTML5. HTML5, increasingly, is the engine behind many mobile applications as well. This important skill set is the baseline for many working in professional web, mobile and application development. In this book authored by master trainer Mark Lassoff, you will learn HTML and CSS, including everything you need to create a creative, quality and sound web site. No experience is required as you start at the very beginning and work your way through more advanced lessons. HTML and CSS for Beginners with HTML5 takes a learn-by-doing approach. Dozens of code examples are presented as you are encouraged to type in the code examples provided and view the result within your web browser. You will not only learn the tags and attributes that comprise HTML code, but also apply them in dynamic lab exercises included with each chapter. This book closely follows the curriculum developed by the author for his popular classroom and online classes on web development. Thousands have learned HTML from Mark Lassoff, and this book provides a great opportunity for you to learn the code behind every web site and many modern mobile applications.

Mark Lassoff 's parents frequently claim that Mark was born to be a programmer. In the mid-eighties when the neighborhood kids were outside playing kickball and throwing snowballs, Mark was hard at work on his Commodore 64 writing games in the BASIC programming language. Computers and programming continued to be a strong interest in college where Mark majored in communication and computer science. Upon completing his college career, Mark worked in the software and web development departments at several large corporations.
