This book is a comprehensive guide for learning practical web design techniques, starting from the basics of HTML and CSS. It caters to a wide range of readers, from beginners to intermediate users.
The Amazon introduction page advertised it as follows:

Reason for Reading
I work as an IT training instructor. Although rare, I sometimes encounter textbooks where the content is outdated or the text is just a long, continuous explanation, which bores the students.
Therefore, with the strong determination that I will not let the textbooks I create be like that! I was researching what kind of books are popular in the world when I came across this book, which is rated as the No. 1 best-selling book for 5 consecutive years. Although I was already familiar with the technical content, I decided to pick it up out of personal interest to see how useful "Learn Everything in One Book: HTML & CSS and Web Design Introductory Course 2nd Edition" really is, which is why I started reading it.
Impressions (Good Points)
📚 Readability
The book's layout, structure, line spacing, and margins are beautifully designed, setting it apart from other HTML-related books. The explanations are very smooth, allowing you to read through without stress.
📚 Excellence of the Sample Site
You can learn the necessary skills comprehensively in the process of creating a stylish cafe website. A single sample site is packed with many lessons, allowing you to absorb practical knowledge.
📹 Utilization of Video Sites
This was truly surprising.
You can jump to a video site via a QR code for each CHAPTER.
The video site explains the content of the CHAPTER.
I thought this was a modern business model.
The author can earn revenue from the textbook and also earn viewing revenue by directing people to the video site, and
the purchaser also has the advantage of being able to watch expert lectures on video in addition to the textbook content for just the price of the textbook.
It is an ideal Win-Win situation for both sides.
Conversely, you can also expect textbook purchases from the videos, right? 🧐
📚 Breadth of Content
It covers not only design and coding but also the entire web production process. This single volume contains rich content that can be learned by a wide range of people from beginners to intermediate users.
Isn't this book the ultimate guidebook for learning web design?
A message I want to share with those around me
As mentioned in the reviews on e-commerce sites, this book is packed with the minimum necessary HTML and CSS to create stylish websites. The points you need to learn are carefully selected, making your study efficient.
Also, rather than focusing on technical details, it focuses on basic design forms and presents various patterns for reuse. Furthermore, despite the price being in the 2,500 yen range, it comes with video learning support, making it excellent value for money.
As someone involved in book production myself, I learned a great deal.
If you are going to learn HTML and CSS, I recommend this textbook‼️
【#1 in sales for 5 consecutive years, 2019-2024!】 is not just for show‼️
