Review
If your budget only allows for one HTML5 and CSS3 book, this book is a
terrific way to invest your money. I’ve reviewed HTML5 for Web
Designers and Introducing HTML5 on this blog. I think this book is
better than either of those books. That’s not saying the two books
mentioned are not excellent books, because they are. I’ve read both of
those books carefully and I still learned new and helpful things from
HTML5 and CSS3. Plus, the VQS style is inherently easy to use with each
topic detailed in small step-by-step bits. It’s so easy to find the one
thing you need to know at any given moment with a VQS book.
Another advantage this book over the others I mentioned is that it can get a beginner going but it also offers a lot of good information for the experienced HTML and CSS wonk. If you’re teaching either of these topics, this book is classroom gold.
Definitely recommended. - Virginia DeBolt, webteacher.ws
