Best computer book ever: HTML and XHTML guide
What’s the best computer book ever? My nomination is HTML: The Definitive Guide — now updated to HTML & xhtml: The Definitive Guide because x is the new e. I talked to Chuck Musciano and Bill Kennedy yesterday (you can hear it here). I forget to tell them that I’ve frequently recommended the book to new web authors by telling them that they can read it at the beach and learn a lot. It’s one of the very few books that really explains why you would want to do something in a certain way. ; ; Sure you can sit at a computer and try out the code, and you can certainly use it as a reference to learn why something didn’t work, but I’ve always found this book an actual pleasure to read for the perspective they bring to the topic.
