Robbins, "one of the first designers for the Web" and author of Web Design in a Nutshell, has dispensed with all but the most necessary information needed by serious web designers and programmers to design standards-compliant websites. This book's strength is in its "easy-to-find listings of every HTML and XHTML tag, and every Cascading Style Sheet value." The listing of elements alphabetically and by function expedites the reader's ability to find the material desired.
