Fantastic book, Lousy index, full of blather

We're using this book in a college course I'm taking. This book contains a massive amount of REALLY good information, which has been buried in a landslide of unnecessary blather. Add to this the complete lack of a sensible, extensive index, and this book leaves me so frustrated, I am nearly ready to drop the class. (see below..)

The vast amount of useful information in the book makes it difficult to remember it all at one time. But it's impossible to refer back and find something a week after I've read it without leafing through an entire chapter or more, page by page, because the index is so brief and incomplete.

With a good, complete index, I'd give this book 4.5 stars for it's excellent content (withholding 1/2 star for all the blather). Without a usable index, the book is nearly worthless to me.

GOOD NEWS UPDATE!! The O'Reilly people have replied to my complaint about the index. They're compiling, and will be uploading a complete, extensive index online in January 2008! Too late for my class, but hey! Someone really does listen. Thanks, O'Reilly!

If you want to understand HTML, XHTML and CSS, buy this book.

For years I have maintained my own table based web site using FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Having decided to convert the site to XHTML and CSS (and also understand a bit better what I was doing) I bought a couple of books on CSS. They turned my brain numb. I could NOT understand what, where or why any of it worked and I'd decided I was incapable of ever learning it until I came across Head First HTML, (thanks, [...]!). Having started from the very basics in Chapter 1 I finally understand it!! The book is totally amazing. At the end of every chapter I think, so THAT's how it works and because I now know the how and the why of it all, I remember it. Also, because they use so many visual aids, I have a sort of background mental picture of the structure of a site, into which all those previously incomprehensible s and s fit in an ordered and logical way. BUY IT.

Land on your feet

Well written, an interesting approach to explaining the how to's of robust design with a fun and light hearted attitude.

Excellent resource to teach yourself XHTML

This book was recommended to me as one of the better books to teach yourself XHTML. I was not disappointed. It provides a lot of good examples and walks you through real scenarios. It does not include a lot of reference tables, etc., so you should complement this book with one or more reference manuals of XHTML, CSS, etc. This book really helped me understand XHTML.
