I am very pleased with the set. I started to read the HTML & CSS book and the author really knows how to explain the notions and he teaches you almost everything you need to know. It's possible that some information might be outdated, but overall it's good. Also, it does not cover the responsive web design very well.
The content is easy to understand and straightforward. If you already know the basics about HTML and css you might find it a bit boring, but it is still good to use as a guideline or if you need to quickly double check something while coding away!
I haven't reached the Jquery and JavaScript, but I am sure it will be interesting and helpful!:)
Excellent way to start learning front-end development
Probably not for you if you're seasoned developer, but for me this was the best set of books I've seen on the subject. Javascript books I've seen before tend to omit the very basic founding concepts jumping straight to practical applications. While it's good to get to apply knowledge straight away, it is sometimes not clear why the things have to be the way they are. This book, in my opinion, makes it crystal clear. Both books seem to me a bit over-illustrated, but that's not really a problem and may actually help those who think more visually.
I find it hard to suggest a better place to start one's front-end web development career, especially from a design background.
These are renowned to all those in the industry as some of the best programming books to get you started. They are such good quality, printed in colour, with illustrations and images on almost every page. These are authentic too, a steal for £26.
