Rating:  - Good explanation!
I would consider myself an intermediate HTML writer. This is a great book for people like me or beginners. The book provides explanations for things to help with a deeper understanding of HTML and CSS. The style of this book is easy to read and understand. I find the information really sticks with me. This book is not about Web design or usability, the creative side is left to you.
Rating: - A brilliant book for HTML beginner
This book is really brilliant. It includes everything a beginner should know about HTML, XHTML and CSS. I learned from this book a lot of things which I thought that I already knew, but I didn't know. The book is written in format, very different from every other format of the book I read so far. It is very easy to read and very clear written. Images, photos and simple examples makes it even more interesting. I just hope that majority of the books from Head First are written so well.
Rating:  - HTML for really the beginners
This is a must-have book for really the beginners. If you don't know where to begin with HTML, you shouldn't miss this book.
Rating: - An excellent place to start learning the concepts
I've been working with HTML for years, and for the first time, I find a book that actually describes everything easily. This is one of the few books that makes learning entertaining.
Rating: - Wonderful and interesting presentation of the material
When I first flipped through the pages of this book I was highly skeptical. It looked more like a comic book than a technical manual. I decided to give it a shot and I was extremely happy I did.
The material in here is very comprehensive (from a beginner's perspective). They even state right in the front that for a complete reference of the material you would need a secondary book.
As far as teaching the material the book layout is second to none. The more complex topics like "CSS layout" I found to be very well presented and I feel like I learned the material completely and can now apply it to my own Web site projects.
Additionally, the book is extremely entertaining to read with interesting photos, captions and side bars.
I wouldn't really compare this with the "...Dummies" series of books. The Dummies books suck (for lack of a better word) and are not humorous at all. This book is genuinely entertaining and you will probably find it hard to put down, just like it was some fascinating novel.
Recommended all the way!
