Designing for the Web is a wonderful thing. The ability to publish something and have itappear immediately and globally is an empowering feeling. I’ll never forget the first rush I feltwhen, as a print designer, I could simply “upload” some files and have them be immediatelyvisible, rather than waiting in trepidation for the boxes to return from the printer. Back thenthe Web was simpler, there were fewer materials and tools, and “styling” was something youhacked together using bizarre hacks and workarounds to achieve even the simplest of tasks.

The browser landscape was equally testing.Now we’re in a much better position. We have a wonderful thing called CSS that allows us tostyle pages with concise style rules and leave the HTML to describe the content, not the presentation. Content can be repurposed for different media. But anyone keen to learn web design (from scratch, or to improve their existing skills) has abewildering job on their hands. The publishing market is saturated with good books on webdesign, HTML, and CSS. Yet if you were asked for a single book that encompasses all three, and that someone could understand without assuming any prior “Internet knowledge,” what would you recommend? Still trying to think of one? A regular contributor to .net/Practical Web Design magazine, Craig Grannell has written The Essential Guide to CSS and HTML Web Design for this purpose. Whether you need a reference for unmemorable code like HTML entities, or need to know what on earth HTML entities are, it’s all here. Laid out in an understandable and non-patronizing manner, every aspect of creating a site is covered. There are still many challenges to face when designing sites, but the sheer fun of it is better than ever. With this guide in your hands, more so!
