A Beginner's Guide to XHTML 1.1

Welcome!

Welcome to A Beginner's Guide to XHTML 1.1. This guide will set you on the right track to learning the ins and outs of the HTML markup language. This book, in fact, is completely written in XHTML. I intend this book to be as easy as possible to understand and have the easiest exercises to complete. Hopefully, when you reach the end of the book, you will have all the skills you need to launch your own web site without the need of an expensive program like FrontPage.
