2nd Edition. — O'Reilly Media, 2012. — 721 p.

Tired of reading HTML books that only make sense after you're an expert? Then it's about time you picked up Head First HTML and really learned HTML. You want to learn HTML so you can finally create those web pages you've always wanted, so you can communicate more effectively with friends, family, fans, and fanatic customers. You also want to do it right so you can actually maintain and expand your web pages over time so they work in all browsers and mobile devices. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay-we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999-but if you're going to create web pages in the 21st century then you'll want to know and understand CSS.

The Language of the Web
The only thing that is standing between you and getting yourself on the Web is learning to speak the lingo:
HyperText Markup Language, or HTML for short. So, get ready for some language lessons. After this chapter, not only are you going to understand some basic elements of HTML, but you'll also be able to speak HTML with a little style. Heck, by the end of this book, you'll be talking HTML like you grew up in Webville.
Meeting the "HT" in HTML
Did someone say "hypertext?" What's that? Oh, only the entire
basis of the Web. In Chapter 1 we kicked the tires of HTML and found it to be a nice markup language (the "ML" in HTML) for describing the structure of web pages. Now we're going to check out the "HT" in HTML, hypertext, which will let us break free of a single page and link to other pages. Along the way we're going to meet a powerful new element, the <a> element, and learn how being "relative" is a groovy thing. So, fasten your seat belts—you're about to learn some hypertext.
