It takes you from the very basics and then walks you through the more advanced design techniques, while thoroughly explaining how everything works. I love how it shows how floats work and how to apply the clear fix to get the old fashion holy grail design to work. I am in awe of how web designers can create magnificent web designs. I really want to be able to do that. This book is helping me do that. Also, it comes with a great online supplement too! The RWD tutorials are awesome too! If you buy this book, you won't regret it! Review: Perfect resource to learn to code! - I just finished reading this book from cover to cover. While the material is dense, the author does a phenomenal job at keeping your interest piqued. The Web Design Playground companion website (webdesignplayground.io) is packed with lessons, tools, and projects that have totally helped me grasp HTML & CSS. This is my 6th attempt trying to learn to code since I was 15, and I’m really, really glad that I bought this book; as it was pivotal in helping me finally achieve a life long goal. The only bummer is that I wish this author had additional books and resources for people learning to code — but that’s only because I enjoyed his work so much! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #603,145 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in CSS Programming #217 in Web Design (Books) #408 in Computer Programming Languages | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 118 Reviews | ## Images ![Web Design Playground: HTML & CSS the Interactive Way - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RIvepMXuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is exactly what I was looking for in a web design book! *by J***R on August 5, 2020* I love this book.

While the material is dense, the author does a phenomenal job at keeping your interest piqued. The Web Design Playground companion website (webdesignplayground.io) is packed with lessons, tools, and projects that have totally helped me grasp HTML & CSS. This is my 6th attempt trying to learn to code since I was 15, and I’m really, really glad that I bought this book; as it was pivotal in helping me finally achieve a life long goal.

I had already finished reading Jon duckett’s html&css book cover to cover, and I was beginning to feel as if this playground book would have been better. It fully explains things in a way that made Ducketts book seem vague. I liked this book teaches html and css simultaneously, which I thought was better than duckett’s approach which was to teach html on its own first, then add a few chapters devoted to css at the end of the book. I was going right through this book, then, I began wondering if it would be as easy to understand had i not already known a bit already. Halfway through, I realize there are more and more typos, missing chunks of code in the examples, and many things are discussed without any explanation at all. It’s annoying that a lot of the examples are cut off and continued on the following page, so that I have to flip back and forth between pages to understand what they’re talking about. The online “playground” is pretty faulty and very frustrating to deal with. I ended up just practicing on text edit instead. It was a good idea, but I think they need to have someone, or a few people, test it out first, all the way through, because it just doesn’t work well in some aspects. Overall, I think it’s an ok book. It has a lot of things that are missing from the other book I read, but it also has many flaws. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m probably going to have to read many books by different authors to fully grasp web development. ## Frequently Bought Together - Web Design Playground: HTML & CSS the Interactive Way - HTML and CSS QuickStart Guide: The Simplified Beginners Guide to Developing a Strong Coding Foundation, Building Responsive Websites, and Mastering ...
