This book aims to help you quickly learn HTML and get familiar with the advanced HTML topics.
HTML, a shorthand for Hyper Text Markup Language, is one of the most fundamental building blocks of the Web.
HTML was officially born in 1993 and since then it evolved into its current state, moving from simple text documents to powering rich Web Applications.
This handbook is aimed at a vast audience.
First, the beginner. I explain HTML from zero in a succinct but comprehensive way, so you can use this book to learn HTML from the basics.
Then, the professional. HTML is often considered like a secondary thing to learn. It might be given for granted.
Yet lots of things are obscure to many people. Me included. I wrote this handbook to help my understanding of the topic, because when I need to explain something, I better make sure I first know the thing inside out.
