E-Books Are Easier

[poliphilo]

I used to collect books obsessively. Look how well-read I am! Look how my book shelves groan! Have you noticed the complete (well nearly complete) set of the collected works of Thomas de Quincey? But it's ages since I bought myself a printed book. Instead I finish one e-book, go clickety-click- and there's the next.

As a student I was told that a single glance at a person's bookcase would tell you when they gave up thinking. No longer true, is it? OK they might not be displaying anything with a publishing date later than- say- 2007, but that could just represent the year they went digital.

I am trying to learn HTML and CSS. I made leaps and bounds after I got a good book - well the PDF of one. Browsing through the w3.org website only got me so far, which was not far enough.

Try http://www.w3schools.com for some really good, interactive and well structured (and free :-)) html and css tutorials.

I have used HTML since 1997. I learned a lot since as well, but this book tied everything together beautifully, regarding HTML 5. I had learned some things about it, but the book made it make sense in a way a tutorial was not able to for me :)

I don't think I'm going to attempt that but i applaud you for doing so....

I guess my point was, no matter the topic, a good book can help a lot. I have always loved reading.
