Reader Reviews
HTML, XHTML, and CSS All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) A Great book! It answers all of my questions relating to all of the several web page languages that I have only partially understood. I now have a solid foundation for going onto more complex programming material and for developing great web applications. The recommendations for free software are terrific. Free works for me. I now have all of the tools I need on my lap top,including my own Apache server running MYSQL. Thank you Andy and Chris.
