Summary: a good complement
Comment: This book functions as a concise teaching reference book. I found this text to be an excellent complement, filling in the details and practical knowledge needed to create working web pages. I started with the Head First HTML book:Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML, then read this book to get tips on how to implement pages in the "real world." Castro makes no bones about pointing out the elements that are "deprecated" (going to be phased out someday), but still commonly used.
The book uses a vertical split page format, one side presenting a concept, with the other showing examples of how the markup actually outputs in the browser. Castro also gives references to many other authors, both on the web and in print. Very few errors in the book. Helpful tables for HTML elements and CSS in the back. I felt the level to be just right for the beginner (which I am-- no real programming experience).

Summary: Poor choice for beginners
Comment: The style and layout of this book is awful. It is difficult to understand and unstructured. I never knew if she was discussing HTML or CSS. The author jumps from subject to subject and does not provide clear examples. To further complicate things, she relies on obscure data about Barcelona in ALL the examples.
Trying to learn a new subject while being mercilessly tortured with useless information about a foreign city and then bombarded with very colorful images at every turn made reading this book a real challenge. Needless to say, I am very unhappy with my purchase. If you want to learn XHTML and CSS, I suggest you look elsewhere. If, for some odd reason, you want to learn about Barcelona, you might want to read it.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Comment: This book really gave me a lot of insight on the fundamentals of Web design. It takes you step by step through the processes of hand writing the Web code. It was a lot of help for me, and I plan on keeping this book for future reference.

Summary: HTML, XHTML & CSS
Comment: This book is really well written and gave me confidence that I could build a web site for myself. Ms. Castro has taken each building block carefully and walked the reader through the steps with examples at each level. What I really liked was that she continually provides reminders of previously covered details and notes places later in the text where more details will emerge. Also, she provides a continuous example that matures slowly with the text. That way the reader can concentrate on the new information at each phase of the site construction. This is a very useful text and even written in a personable style. Give it a try if you're a complete novice as I was.

Summary: great textbook!
Comment: I bought this book as a required reading for my web design level 1 class. My teacher likes it as a reference and I like the way it is written. Easy to follow with gotcha's and tips well laid out. I would recommend it for anyone trying to learn how to build a website with CSS.
