Thanks CrazeD.
I got a book that was published in 2008 for my HTML, XHTML and CSS material. So it should be pretty recent with the current standards.
I dont plan on jumping to Ajax, Peral and all that till after i make sure i have a decent grasp on those 3 first.
I know of W3Schools already. That is how i know most of the HTML i can read right now. Been through that site multiple times. I will make sure to bookmark the other 2 as well.
