 About the Book

Incredibly, it has been more than 20 years since the first release of HTML, the HyperText Markup  Language. In the early days of web development, HTML underwent a series of rapid evolutions from simple text to including images and adding CSS to format text.
Then in 1997 the introduction of HTML4 hit the market and everything came to a stop. Sure, we saw  the release of XHTML, but there was very little advancement in HTML as a language. Why the hold  up? The reason is based on three major factors: computers were limited in what they could process,  the connection to the Web was limited to the speed of a user’s dial-up modem, and the Web was  busily being molded into a new medium.
