The book covers the most basic aspects of a web page right off the bat, including a brief introduction to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). By introducing CSS early, HTML5 24-Hour Trainer gives reader a better sense of real-world web development and-just as importantly-an opportunity to create stylish examples.

To complement the video, a full set of exercise files accompanies the book. Each of the video lessons focuses on just the HTML element under discussion, such as tables or bulleted lists.
