: Book recommend: Start learning web design with css with basic HTML knowledge I've already known some HTML, tables, link, image,...etc but just at a basic level. Now I want to learn how to build

@Turnbaugh106

To get an idea of what web design is all about, a valuable set of books is the "А Book Apart" series.

These are very informative and relatively current, which is not the case for many web design books. These books aren't going to teach you how to write HTML and CSS. But they will give you a great understanding of the medium "Web Design".

Alongside reading these books the best approach is to just get started creating web pages yourself and posting questions to site such as this one or Sitepoint.

When I learned HTML and CSS, the tutorials of designm.ag helped me very much. I used them in addition to books.

For example this one (2 Parts):

Design a Clean Portfolio Site in Photoshop -> Shows how to make the design

How to Code a Clean Portfolio Design -> Shows how to code this design with HTML and CSS.

Maybe these tutorials will help you to become a good website designer, too :)

I found the Head First books to be useful and fun. The HTML with CSS book does start with HTML but the CSS integration is included almost immediately. Here's a link to the crazy big online store that sells books: amzn.to/ksDcRw
There's also a book on web design itself that is very useful stuff. It's about how to design website for your end user, not how to implement a design with HTML/CSS: amzn.to/k7bXOK

I hope this helps.

I would recommend checking out the Sitepoint website tutorials and books, as well as w3schools.com, especially if you're looking to get started right away. If you have some basic HTML knowledge, you may not need to read an entire book to achieve what you're trying to do.

Diving right in may be the best approach for you. You can use Firebug to look at how other sites do things. getfirebug.com
I hope that helps!
