Review: HTML and CSS Web Standards Solutions

web-book

This book is filled with truly brilliant stuff! As a university lecturer in Digital Media, I'm always on the look out for a good book to support my students learning. At last I've found one I have complete confidence in!

I can honestly say that I've read practically every book on the subject of web standards but not one of them offers the quality of explanation the 'Standardista' approach does. Authors Murphy & Persson are clearly passionate about web standards. But what makes this book truly unique is their obvious passion for solid teaching too! They don't skim over the essential issues like so many books do, but tackle them head on to promote clarity of understanding. With an injection of humour and well thought out explanations such as the "In English?" sections, they really get their theories across in an engaging and enjoyable manner.

The Web Standardistas' approach really works for me and I'm confident it will work for my students too. I love the homework activities offered up at the end of each chapter. They provide a fantastic method for readers to put into practice what they've learnt before rushing into the next chapter.

Read it yourself. You won't be disappointed! It's on my reading list for the students this year.
