Tài liệu HTML in 10 Simple Steps or Less

Welcome to HTML in 10 Simple Steps or Less. Our mission in writing this book is to provide a quick
and accessible way for you to learn Hypertext Markup Language — the lingua franca of the World
Wide Web. We hope this book provides a resource that beginning and intermediate HTML coders can
use to improve their Web development skills. It is also our hope that it fills multiple roles as both a teaching
tool and a reference once you expand your skills.
What This Book Is
Each part in this book pertains to a different aspect of HTML and Web production, and we devote each
task within the parts to building a specific piece of Web page content. We’ve laid out these tasks in 10
steps or less so they’re easy to internalize and become part of your personal skill set.
Who We Are and What We Know
Robert Fuller has an extensive background in Web development and design. He served as senior developer
for Travelocity’s Site59.com and takes his experience into the classroom — both live and online —
every day. He believes that in order for new Web developers truly to flourish, they must gain a solid
understanding of the Web’s underlying language, HTML.
He has authored, coauthored, and contributed to several books about HTML, Web design, graphic software
applications, and general computing. His online courses are currently available in college curricula
throughout the United States, Europe, and Australia.

How to Use This Book
We think of this book as a multipurpose tool — perhaps the Swiss Army knife of HTML coding. Not
only can you employ it as a guide to creating individual pieces of Web page content, but you can also use
this book as a valuable teaching tool. By working through the book’s tasks in sequence, you will learn the
basics of Web page development — from constructing tags (the core components of Hypertext Markup
Language) to publishing complete sites to a Web serve
