Good Book or source for learning HTML and CSS for Mac Users?
Seth Piper | Mar 9 2008
I’m new to the HTML game and a relatively new Mac user, and I was wondering are there any good sources out there to help me learn HTML and CSS that are Mac based? |

Re: Good Book or source for learning HTML and CSS for Mac Users?
Aside from instructions on whatever Mac-specific applications you might use to write HTML and CSS, everything about HTML and CSS is platform-neutral. And I suppose there might be some information about particular quirks of Safari with how it renders a particular page differently than other browsers.
So look around for generic HTML and CSS guides, and then pick an application to write in (I’d guess TextWrangler for free, other stuff at a cost).
Recommendation
I teach a course on web design, and I use the Heads First HTML & CSS book from O’Reily. It does a great job of teaching xhtml without getting bogged down. It also has a style that keeps you interested.

W3Schools is a great resource I use for HTML/CSS help. Anyway, I mostly learned HTML by viewing the source code of web pages and then modify/test with the HTML code using NotePad!
