From the Back Cover

If you're a web developer who has worked with HTML, you will find much of XHTML instantly familiar and readily usable. However, there are parts of XHTML that are derived from XML, which may be unfamiliar and perhaps a bit harder to understand. In XHTML, Chelsea Valentine and Chris Minnick provide the explanations and explorations that will help you become familiar and comfortable with the "X" in XHTML. XHTML addresses the need of working Web professionals to learn what XHTML is and how best to use it, and helps those who are contemplating making the switch from HTML to XHTML decide if and when to take the plunge. Both the authors not only write about and teach XHTML, but also consult and implement this technology as part of their workday routines. They've learned from their audiences and students what people most need to know, and what examples and illustrations best illuminate that information. That collective wisdom drives this book throughout.

From the Inside Flap

Read what reviewers are telling us about XHTML.

"I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a very readable, up-to-date introduction to recent work in the W3C specifications they will be using for years to come." ~Phillip Hoschka, Architecture Domain Leader, W3C

"XHTML provides the reader a well-organized and comprehensive treatment of XHTML. The authors have done an excellent job of bringing many sources of information together in a single place, providing the reader not only a solid tutorial, but a good reference guide too. It's a must have for anyone trying to understand XHTML in order to convert their website to be XHTML compliant." ~Piroz Mosheni, President, Bita Technologies, Inc.

"XHTML is well-suited for veteran HTML coders with limited XML experience who want to get up-to-speed quickly with the new generation of markup techniques. It is a clear no-frills handbook, with a relentless focus on practical information. It's easy, conversational style and its reference to numerous online resources are an added bonus." ~PS Woodsp, Author of Flash 5 Developer's Guide

"New Riders' XHTML will be a valuable tool to anyone responsible for developing a Web page with the tools of the future. The depth of the material directed toward the implementation of XHTML, as well as the information provided about XSL and CSS suggest the author(s) have extensive experience in the Web development field." ~Tony Antoniou, BSc, MSc
