This book is an excellent introduction to standards based web design. Written in a very accessible manner Murphy and Persson walk you through creating well structured XHTML pages then show you how to style them using CSS. With a dedicated website to help you along you can't go wrong.
As a designer I have always left the programing of my client sites up to someone who knows how, thinking it was way beyond me. This book has shown me just how easy it actually is to programme them yourself and what's more I don't have to buy any expensive software get me started!
I reckon this will quickly become a university standard introduction to web design and the first port of call for any aspiring designer. Well done guys!

A decent quick book that stresses separating the context of data from the fancy styling of data. Don't read this book if your looking for a set of CSS tricks.
