Every day, more and more people want to learn some HTML and CSS. Joining the professional web designers and programmers are new audiences who need to know a little bit of code at work (update a content management system or e-commerce store) and those who want to make their personal blogs more attractive. Many books teaching HTML and CSS are dry and only written for those who want to become programmers, which is why this book takes an entirely new approach.
- Introduces HTML and CSS in a way that makes them accessible to everyone—hobbyists, students, and professionals—and it’s full-color throughout
- Utilizes information graphics and lifestyle photography to explain the topics in a simple way that is engaging
- Boasts a unique structure that allows you to progress through the chapters from beginning to end or just dip into topics of particular interest at your leisure
This educational book is one that you will enjoy picking up, reading, then referring back to. It will make you wish other technical topics were presented in such a simple, attractive, and engaging way!

INTRODUCING TO HTML & CSS
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)The origins of HTML lay in the 1970s when the term HyperText Markup Language was used in the Computer Graphics Group of Xerox PARC (which was eventually renamed Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Xerox PARC)) to indicate a graphics language combining hypertext markup and multimedia support. HyperText Markup Language was invented to demonstrate the capabilities of Xerox Alto. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is derived from HyperText Markup Language. The original version of HTML was written by Tim Berners-Lee, whose ideas were developed in 1978 while working as a programmer on the CERRADO computer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Berners-Lee published the HyperText Markup Language Version 2.0 in August 1982, along with descriptions of the Transmission Control Program (TCP), the World Wide Web (the predecessor of the World Wide Web), and the World Wide Web Protocol (WURP). Berners-Lee conceived of the World Wide Web in 1989, and in 1990, with CERN colleague Robert Cailliau, built the CERN Web site, which later became known as the CERN Web site.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language such as HTML. CSS is a cornerstone technology of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and JavaScript.
CSS is designed to enable the separation of presentation and content, including layout, colors, and fonts.[3] This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple web pages to share formatting by specifying the relevant CSS in a separate .css file which reduces complexity and repetition in the structural content as well as enabling the .css file to be cached to improve the page load speed between the pages that share the file and its formatting.

Separation of formatting and content also makes it feasible to present the same markup page in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (via speech-based browser or screen reader), and on Braille-based tactile devices. CSS also has rules for alternate formatting if the content is accessed on a mobile device.[4]
The name cascading comes from the specified priority scheme to determine which style rule applies if more than one rule matches a particular element. This cascading priority scheme is predictable. In the hierarchy of cascading style sheets, styles are ordered according to their priority. The document style sheet will occur first in the style chain and then the document content will take precedence.
Styles in HTML are specified with a section of the text, called the style tag, in the document head section, usually after the title or document body tag and before the script tag. Unlike HTML, styles can be applied to other elements in the document, independent of their document head sections. Style rules can therefore be applied to any element in the document, not just the document head.
There are many types of style, such as basic (also called application or interpretation styles), outline, outline with qualifiers, outline with selectors, outline with CSS, outline, block, unordered, arranged, block with qualifiers, ordered, list and table.
The importance of CSS in the markup language of HTML was recognized early on. For example, Microsoft incorporated CSS in their "W3C Recommendation" draft of HTML 4, introduced in January 1994, but was ultimately prevented from forcing the inclusion of CSS in HTML by opposition from some object-oriented programming proponents, who felt that "generic semantics" such as styles should be part of an object-oriented language rather than in HTML.
There are many specifications of CSS currently in use. This section lists some of the currently existing CSS implementations.
