if i wanna create web sites, is "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML" a good start? p.s. but my plan is to move to web applications after i get basics of making web sites thanks

A: 

I suggest you read the tutorials from w3schools instead. It's free and gets you up to speed with the technologies you need:

  • html
  • css
  • javascript

You didn't mention which type of web applications you want to make but if you choose for ASP.NET you can find a lot of great tutorials over at http://www.asp.net/.

Basically, you can create websites with various templates already available on the net. Knowledge of HTML & CSS is just not enough if you are creating web applications. Various things like JSP, Servlets, Databases etc. come into the picture. So, please mention what exactly do you want to create.

The Head First series usually helps while understanding the concepts.

HI Look -> Web Development has got 3 main phases =>

-> Web Technology and Architecture to be implemented 
-> Front End Used and client side programming 
-> Server side programming

There a lot of options available to choose for which language to use for which purpose.. Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML is a good book to start with but not a sufficient one to build web apps. If u want to get more knowledge abt web application development then try to read Web Programming by David Bates! Its a good book for web programmers that explains anything and everything needed for basic web application developer..!!!

All the Best
