Congratulations on your new book!
I´m learning web programming for my own and like every interested student, need to find good and solid guide books and material to study.
Looking for it in IG, I found your page and saw that you have published some books about programming and my question is ¿The Murach's HTML5 and CSS3 book is good and useful for a new student in our amazing world of programming?
Thanks,
Diego.

Does the book focuses only on the new features of the latest version or it covers all the features and functionalities?
Thomas Zink wrote:Awesome chart. I need to investigate React VS. Angular more. I've seen presentations on both, but neither described why to pick one over the other. React lighter weight is one thing I remember. I'll have to get in and try more things. The testing section is entirely new to me. Thanks!

Bear Bibeault wrote:A good book provides a great deal more than online resources. I won't go into a detailed list, but in general a book will guide you through the learning process, building knowledge a step at a time so that you understand foundations as well as details.
Online resources are great as references, but not always so much for learning.

What are the top reasons to upgrade to (or purchase) this edition as opposed to the previous edition of this book?
Thanks,

Congratulations on your new book! I just scanned the table of contents on Amazon and noticed the book comprises 736 pages. That's a very large tome of information on this subject. I typically try to pick up books in the 250 page range because they are a little easier to digest so may I ask…
1.) What is your expectation for developers reading this book? Do you see them reading from cover to cover or as separate, individual chapters that focus on a particular topic?
2.) How is your book different from other HTML/CSS books? Do you have a different approach to teaching the information?
3.) At 736 pages, that's a lot of words, do you still consider the content to be on-topic?
4.) Is there a reason a Kindle version wasn't released first? With the size of this book, it will take up a lot of room on a developer's desk and with the trend in the industry to reduce our personal office desk space, the digital references seem to be more popular.
Thanks for sharing with the Code Ranch community and also for providing information to help developers,
Dale
