Murach's HTML5 and CSS3, 4th Edition

Until now, my websites looked great but have been coded with what seems like duct-tape and bubble-gum methods, just for appearances and not for professionalism or compliance. This book taught me all that is possible with HTML and CSS coding..

.. What a game changer! That's what one web designer posted about a previous edition of Murach's HTML5 and CSS3.

Book Detail

Paperback: 736 pages Publisher: Mike Murach & Associates; 4th ed. edition (March 2, 2018) Language: English ISBN-10: 9781943872268 ISBN-13: 978-1943872268 ASIN: 1943872260

The writing and exposition in this book is unusually good, and the formatting (text on the left, examples and pictures on the right) works very well. The book is a joy to read, and the concepts they cover, they cover very clearly. This book is excellent for someone first learning HTML or CSS, and it covers how to combine the basic concepts to build the most common things one will want to put on a web site, such as multi-tier menus. The coverage is not really adequate for a working professional (or someone aspiring to be). For example, the "display" property is not adequately described, and the flexible box model is not covered at all. For responsive menus, they punt the design to an external jquery library: fine for getting a tiny web site off the ground, but not going to help you understand how an existing company did it in-house. I think if you combine this book with Gasston's CSS3 book, you'd have a winning combination which collectively cover what you need to know.
