I have some knowledge of HTML but almost none of CSS, only a little ofJavascript etc. Basically I am looking for a book to solidify my
 knowledge of web design technologies. The two books which stood out at
 the bookshop today were;
 
 Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML by Freeman
 Internet & World Wide Web How to Program by Deitel
 
 Both of these look very good. The second in particular looks
 comprehensive with coverage of numerous technologies, while the first
 is limited in scope to HTML/XHTML/CSS but it reputedly very clear and
 easy to learn from.
 
 My choice would be to buy the Freeman now, work through it to gain
 understanding of essentials, then wait until November when the new
 Deitel comes out and buy that then to expand my knowledge to other
 technologies. What do people think of that strategy? It would involve
 some replication of effort since HTML/XHTML/CSS would be covered in
 both books, but the Freeman is such a "nice" book and the Deitel
 covers so many extra technologies that I think this might be a good
 strategy. Anyone read both of these books? Comments?
