I’ve never seen a book on HTML and CSS look this good.
Just as it says on the website:
A book about code that doesn’t read like a 1980s VCR manual…
Just look at this beautiful book!
As much as I love the flexibility and storability of ebooks, I want to own this book.

Agreed. This thing looks awesome. Looks like a graphic designer designed it, a web designer wrote it, having in mind anyone that is not either of the two. I am definitely checking this out. Thanks.

Whoah. Just started a new blog (standard theme of course) that requires a bit more than posting words in a form box a la blogger. This book looks like it just jumped to the top of my list!
Eric Dye says
WOOT!
(Did you spring for the Support License?)
Mike Andrews says
I did. I haven’t dug myself into any holes that required me to beg for help yet, but have been able to find what I’ve needed so far in support.
Eric Dye says
Awesome! Great stuff in there 😀
Krist Adams says
Just picked it up at Amazon.
Eric Dye says
Cool!
Becky says
This book looks great and definitely more fun than just reading about it online. Does the book also include HTML5?
Eric Dye says
I can’t tell, but considering how much HTML5 is still in the air, I would think if there was, it would be limited.
Krist Adams says
The reviews say that it does have some HTML5 but it’s not like strictly 5. More so shows 4 and adds a little 5 in.
Taken from a customer review:
“I admired Duckett’s approach to this book. He completely dispels with the buzzwords that glitter so many books these days. There’s mention of HTML5 and CSS3, for sure, but it’s done in such a way that it doesn’t seem gimmicky or hyped. The title of the book itself is evidence of this. Duckett clearly doesn’t want you thinking about HTML 4 vs. HTML5 or CSS 2 vs. CSS3. Instead, he wants you to understand the concepts that link together web technology and good design. Some of that is done with HTML 4 and CSS 2 while some is done with HTML5 and CSS3.”

This is a very cool looking book but i prefer to keep my tutorials digital so i can copy and paste code to see how it works.
Krist Adams says
All the code for the book can be downloaded from the book’s site so you can do just that.
Eric Dye says
The answer man! WOOT! Thanks Krist!
Eric Dye says
I know what you mean. As awesome as this is in analog, I can’t help but wonder how much *pop* it would have on an iPad.

Looks like a fantastic book. Definitely adding it to my wishlist
