i won this book through librarything and it came at the perfect time. i won it while i was taking my first xhtml class at SJSU and it sure came in handy. for our final project we had to create our own website from scratch. i had never worked with xml, html or xhtml before this class, and although our class text book was helpful, there were some things i still was not able to understand. this book was a great reference tool and really helped fill in the gaps where my course text book missed. i would recommend this book as a great reference tool to anyone who is just learning xhtml.
