Learning Web Design
Learning Web Design starts out at the very beginning with a description of how the web and web pages works and builds from there. By the time you get to the end of the book you'll have the skills for creating multi-column pages using CSS and optimizing your image files.

- Everything you need to know about web standards -- (X)HTML, DTDs, and more
- Cascading Style Sheets -- formatting text, colors and backgrounds, using the box model, page layout, and more
- All about web graphics, and how to make them lean and mean through optimization
- The site development process, from start to finish
- Getting your pages on the Web -- hosting, domain names, and FTP
