According to the authors, “although this book is meant for
beginners, it isn’t totally comprehensive.” And yet, it does cover a multitude
of subjects to get you up and running in using HTML5. Although the authors
believe that you should know something about HTML, I think it possible to learn
HTML 5 if you really put your mind to it.
Think about this scenario:
You just started class to learn how
to design a website, and although they’ll be teaching you in design mode, they
want you to learn how to hard code in HTML. The textbook is for HTML 5 and you’ve
never worked with HTML before. What will you do then? You can always look on
the web and find more about HTML, or even XHTML. Perhaps your teacher doesn’t want you to
learn an earlier version of HTML before you learn HTML 5.
When it comes to technology and the
internet, all phases of it, you will find that things change at a nearly unprecedented
rate. I know that some of the HTML I’ve learned in the past is obsolete and has
to be taken off the shelf. Meaning I had to unlearn a few tags.
My point is, if you want to learn HTML 5, this is a good
book to start. While you’re learning, you’ll also learn about web server
software, such as Apache HTTP Server, WAMP, MAMP, among others. You will find plenty
of material to keep you occupied and the tone of the book makes it easy to
read.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants, or needs, to
learn HTML 5. Me included.
