Not quite four months ago, I wrote a review for SitePoint's "The Ultimate CSS Reference" for The Linux Tutorial website. I wrote the review based on the online version (which has since been made accessible to everyone) and overall, found the book to be very, very good (if not 100% "ultimate"...I'm kind of hard to convince that any one source of information is all I'll ever need). I since have gotten my hands on the hardcopy of this text and am very proud to own it. When it's "mate", "The Ultimate HTML Reference" arrived in the mail, naturally, I was interested to see how it compared.
The author Ian Lloyd has already written the bestseller "Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS", also published by SitePoint, so expectations ran high as I opened the pages of this book. There isn't a lot of "messing around" and the book gets right down to business. Lloyd tells the reader from the start, that this isn't just about slapping together a website, shooting from the hip using HTML. He's well versed in XHTML (HTML/XML) and the most current standards, so he's interested in providing not only a good general reference, but one with the intent of teaching readers to build web sites "the right way". If you have sloppy web building habits, it won't be because of Lloyd's book.
