இ Fuzzy Wuzzy's Summary:ѾѾѾ Somewhat recommended, with reservations and only lukewarm fuzzies.I would actually rate this book 3.5 stars, with a 4-star rating for intermediate Web users, but a 3-star rating for both beginning Web coders and users who have already been coding at an intermediate level for awhile.For starters, the back cover of this 600-page book says: "Covers: HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.1, HTML5, CSS 2/3, JavaScript" and "User Level: Beginning-Intermediate", and this can be somewhat misleading. This book provides broad sweeping overviews along with very nice specific coverage of various aspects of HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.1, CSS2, and JavaScript. However, even though the book's front cover also proclaims "HTML5 Coverage", there really is barely any HTML5 coverage at all in this book, nor does this book delve into the niceties of what CSS3 can add to styling your Web pages. For example, page 54 describes the CSS 'border' property, but it totally ignores the CSS3 enhancements that allow you to create rounded borders. The new CSS3 abilities to create shadow offsets, color gradients, specify color as RGBA/opacity values, and create really cool transforms of elements to alter their shape/size/position are also never mentioned even once. Likewise, HTML5 introduces a plethora of new tag elements to organize the structure of your Web pages better, more logically, more efficiently, and with better semantics (such as the new , , , and elements), and a variety of both new elements and new attributes for existing elements are also introduced. *NONE* of these HTML5 improvements are covered in the least bit in this book.
