Hello all,
I teach web development courses at the local community college. For my
beginning HTML course, I have been using "HTML For The World Wide Web
with XHTML and CSS" by Elizabeth Castro. I am looking for a different
book; one that instructs HTML 4.01 strict rather than transitional; one
that does not mention a bunch of deprecated elements. Anyone know of
such a book? So far, every book I've looked at seems to recommend the
use of transitional rather than strictif they mention a doctype at all.
I don't understand why it is so difficult to find a book to teach
*modern* methods instead of transitional methods when "transition" is
long past. I teach that all new pages should be coded strictly to the
W3C recommendation. It's getting tiresome having to unteach much of
what the textbook offers.
Maybe I'm going to have to write one? Anyone interested in co-
authoring?
For the record. This group, ciwah and ciwas are great resources for my
classes. Thanks to all, especially the regulars that are so helpful to
so many. I don't post a lot, but I sure find some good reading in
these groups. Thanks.
