I wish I had this when I was starting out. My first book about web design was CSS for Dummies, and it opened my eyes to possibilities. After a few years of not touching any HTML or CSS directly, this has been a wonderful refresher to get making things again.

My understanding of web design started through a CSS lens. In retrospect, beginning to learn web design by understanding the power and capabilities of the structure first—through HTML—would have been a much better first step.

Highly recommend to anyone who thinks they can't make a website, or curious how easy it is. This is a step by step explanation for any sort of "first steps into the web" and a wonderful refresher on the basics for anyone looking to freshen' up.
