Serves it's purpose.....I like it
I had an interest in web development years ago when I invested some time going through free html tutorials online.

Eases the Transition
OK, so you really know that you need to move on to Style Sheets and the new version of HTML. But you've put it off. The books on XHTML and CSS are long and tedious, and written for beginners so they contain a lot of fluff that you already know. This book is different. It starts with the presumption that you are already an HTML programmer. In fact you are probably running a site that has a few ...
