A Note from the Author

When I started my consulting business, I anticipated a demand for basic web skills in the

design community. Graphic designers whod been able to get by knowing just Photoshop,

Illustrator, and InDesign would tell me that their clients started expecting them to know

how to write HTML and CSS. As companies started shifting over from proprietary content

management systems to general CMSs like WordPress, the need for designers to have basic

tech knowledge grew. Today, designers must be able to create content both for print and for

the Web, and that means knowing HTML and CSS.

When seen against the medias transition from print to Web, perhaps this shouldnt

be shocking. What surprised me, however, is how much interest in these skills has spread

beyond the design and media communities. If youre as old as I am, you might remember a

time and place when office desks didnt always have computers on them. I remember visit-

ing my dads office at a community college while I was still in high school. He was considered

forward-thinking because he not only had a computer on his desk but he actually read his

own email, which was unheard of by certain college administrators.

We dont live in that world anymore. It didnt take very long for the Internet, desktop

computers, word processing, typing skills, and email to become standard tools for nearly

every single job in existence. Now, not only designers, but all sorts of professionals are

required to produce content for the Web using basic HTML and CSS. The Web is taking

over, but that doesnt mean learning about it has to be a pain.

My hope is that this book will appeal to those people feeling left behind as well as those

who want to get ahead. We live in an ever-changing world where the skills you learn today
