Re: Learning HTML

[Chris Morton <salt -dot- morton -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I second Scott's choice. I own O'Reilly's *CSS—The Missing Manual* and enjoy
using it FAR more than any Dummies book (which tend to be an insult to my
intelligence).

Simple to use and understand, these days I always look to O'Reilly first for
tech books, even though they've declined to employ me on two occasions now.
(S'OK... although I'd like to live closer to Point Reyes National Seashore,
I wasn't the least bit impressed with Sebastopol.)
