HTML, CSS, and JavaScript All in One: Covering HTML5, CSS3, and ES6, Sams Teach Yourself

A good solid introduction to these fundamental web tools. It starts from first principles and the explanations and examples are clear. I came at it as someone with a lot of experience of HTML 3.2 and a small amount of CSS and JavaScript but all very basic and with a need to upgrade my skills to the latest technologies. This certainly introduced me to the new tags and capabilities of HTML5 and CSS3 but it is all at a basic level. Just as it started to get interesting it would, as often as not, say "but that's not covered further in this book". Tantalising and not too useful for me.If you are coming to web design from scratch and need a good overall introduction this is a good start. You really do need all 3 languages to build modern web sites and this will get you going with minimal pain but, if you already know the basics and want to delve deeper into the latest standards, it will probably leave you wanting more.

The actual contents of the book looks fine but the printing quality is shocking. The text is blurred, faded or stretched in most places. Feels like I'm reading something my grandmother printed on the 20 year old ink jet she got free with her PC.Every book I've ordered from Amazon in the last few months has had either printing or binding issues, I'm most likely going to go to an actual bookstore from now on. Just so I can see if the book looks like it is made well and is fit for purpose (reading).

I have read this and was quite impressed with it. There wasn't a single bit that was really badly explained although I am an IT professional with decades of experience so don't take my view as indicative of what it would be like to read for a total beginner. No complaints, a good book with plenty of references to web sites for further reading.

I was surprised just how thick this book was - its already proved to be very valuable in my quest to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I am just dipping in and out at the moment but think that when time permits I should start at the front and work through page by page practicing the steps with files that you can download from the company. I have other books in this series of Sams Teach yourself and this is another worthy addition to the ever expanding list.

The authors clearly haven't heard of ES6, arrow functions, closures or anything about modern JS or they were too lazy to update their text. Shame on you and the publishers for flogging a decadent text as new.
