Summary

HTML5 24-Hour Trainer give's new and aspiring web developers the knowledge they need to achieve early success when building sites. Lessons are provided in small, easily-digestible chunks that give readers just the context they need to make good use of the included practical steps.The book covers the most basic aspects of a web page right off the bat, including a brief introduction to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). By introducing CSS early, HTML5 24-Hour Trainer gives reader a better sense of real-world web development and-just as importantly-an opportunity to create stylish examples. Other beginning HTML books surveyed cover CSS almost as an after-thought which results in frequently plain (and notably boring) examples. Not the HTML5 24-Hour Trainer! Judicious use of CSS brings a richer, more engaging learning experience that really drives home the know-how and encourages the reader to go further.To complement the video, a full set of exercise files accompanies the book. Each of the video lessons focuses on just the HTML element under discussion, such as tables or bulleted lists. The included exercise files are constructed with well-styled, web standard compliant code so the user has a solid experience that can be easily applied to further opportunities.
