<p class="intro">Welcome to the companion site for <cite>HTML and CSS, Eighth Edition: Visual Quickstart Guide</cite> by Elizabeth Castro and Bruce Hyslop.</p>
<h1>About the Book</h1>
<p>This best-selling book's visual format and step-by-step, task-based instructions is ideal for beginners and intermediate coders and designers.</p>
<p>This updated edition uses clear instructions and friendly prose to introduce you to HTML and CSS essentials. No prior knowledge is assumed. Real-world code samples help you learn HTML and CSS from the ground up.</p>
<p><strong>Over the course of 21 chapters you will learn how to:</strong></p>
<ul class="topics">
<li>Mark up webpage content with HTML and apply your designs with CSS.</li>
<li>Write semantic HTML, both with elements that have been around for years and ones that are new in HTML5.</li>
<li>Prepare and add images to your pages while making them load quickly.</li>
<li>Style text, add background colors and images, and implement a multicolumn layout.</li>
<li>Use margins, padding, positioning, and more in your layouts.</li>
<li>Create pages according to responsive web design techniques so they will look good on mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and beyond.</li>
<li>Apply effects that CSS3 brings to CSS, including rounded corners, text shadows, drop shadows, gradients, multiple backgrounds, alpha transparent colors, opacity, and more.</li>
<li>Implement CSS sprites so your pages load fewer images and speed up as a result.</li>
<li>Use web fonts to enrich webpage typography and to add scalable icons to your pages.</li>
<li>Build HTML forms (including with many of the features HTML5 brings to forms).</li>
<li>Add HTML5 video and audio to your pages, and include a Flash fallback for older browsers.</li>
<li>Improve your site's accessibility with ARIA landmark roles and other good coding practices.</li>
<li>Obtain your own domain name, test and debug your site, and publish it to the web for all to see.</li>
<li>Accommodate older browsers while using newer features they don't support.</li>
<li>Implement best practices that industry professionals follow.</li>
</ul>
<p>And there's more!</p>
