Description
Welcome to HTML, XHTML, and CSS Programming for the Absolute Beginner! Web development today involves a combination of different technologies that together facilitate the development of websites and web pages. But what are these technologies and how do you work with them? These are the questions that this book is going to answer for you.
For many people the Internet is a mystery. They set up an Internet account with a local Internet service provider and then open their browser and before they know it, they are learning, shopping, and playing games online. Accessing the Internet in this manner is simple and intuitive. It usually does not take long before you start discovering and visiting websites created by family and friends. You may start hearing new terms like HTML, XHTML, and CSS. These three terms represent markup and presentation languages that are used as the basis for creating all of the websites you see on the Internet.
This book will provide an overview of the markup languages that form the foundation of web page development on the Internet (HTML and XHTML). It will also show you how to control and manage the presentation of content on your web pages using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). By the time you make it to the end of the book, you will understand the fundamentals of HTML, XHTML, and CSS and will have used them to develop many different types of web pages.
To help make learning how to work with these technologies as fun and interesting as possible, this book will utilize a hands-on instructional approach that emphasizes learning by doing. This will be accomplished through the development of a series of projects that will show you how to create web pages that tell jokes, perform silly tasks, and create computer games.
