  • About this book
  • How the web works
  • Learning from other pages

Firstly, thank you for picking up this book. It has been written with two very different types of people in mind:

  • Those who want to learn how to design and build websites from scratch
  • Anyone who has a website (that may be built using a content management system, blogging software, or an e-commerce platform) and wants more control over the appearance of their pages

The only things you need in order to use this book are a computer with a web browser and a text editor (such as Notepad, which comes with Windows, or TextEdit, which comes with Macs).
