Book recommendations?

Cromulent · Aug 3, 2008, 07:01 AM

Does anyone have any recommendations for books that deal with XHTML and CSS (it must cover CSS positioning)? I've looked around but found that there are so many that I'm not sure which are the best.

I'm trying to keep my pages validating as XHTML 1.0 strict so I'd like to avoid books that spend ages talking about things which are deprecated in the strict subset.

If you are not sure if you want to buy it or not the book is available as a pdf on torrent sites.

CSS Mastery is a great book if you understand the basics of CSS.

Check out the cool and free Opera Web Standards Curriculum website which teaches standards-based web development. No need for dead-tree books.

Cheers for the help guys. Hopefully I should be able to knock something out pretty easily. Things have changed somewhat since I last did HTML and web programming.

Shouldn't take long to get back into it though.
