    Teach Yourself HTML Visually is the book I used.

    The instructions are clear and it tells you about all the basic HTML and style sheets.

    html is ONLY for website data presentation. So the best 'book' is probably from the w3c webpage - google for 'w3c' if u don't know. You will get the best data for free over the internet... Not in a book.

    Good luck

    I disagree, while I use the Internet an awful lot to gather information, books can still be a valuable resource. I have a great book on running Linux and can often find answers quicker by looking in that, than searching t'internet.

    The only problem with a book is that after so long it can't help you a great deal anymore.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I was posting in relation to html... and I stand by the idea that the best, and most current information is on the web. Books on HTML need to be updated every time w3c decide to change a tag.

    Something more substantial like linux could require a book however because the basics have never changed. The file structuring, basic methodologies etc. And online authors often suck. You have to assume people that are book published have had some quality control !

    I wouldn't use WYSIWYG software at all. Notepad is the way forward. Of course you have to reference occasionally but the more you use it the more it sticks in your head. Also, learn how to use tables as well as CSS layouts. Both may benefit you and most people start off using tables and move on to CSS for layouts.
