Introduction > What You Need to Know
This book assumes you've already got some knowledge of HTML (and maybe some CSS experience as well). Perhaps you've built a site or two (or at least a page or two) and have some familiarity with the sea of tags—<html>, <p>, <h1>, <table>, and so on—that make up the Hypertext Markup Language. CSS can't do anything without HTML, so to move forward you need to know how to create a web page using basic HTML.
If you've used HTML in the past to create web pages, but feel like your knowledge is a bit rusty, the next section provides a basic refresher.
Tip
If you're just getting your feet wet learning HTML, then check out these free online tutorials: HTML Dog (www.htmldog.com/guides/htmlbeginner/) and W3Schools (www.w3schools.com/html/). If you're a printed page fan, then you may want to pick up a copy of Creating a Web Site: The Missing Manual, Second Edition or Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML (O'Reilly).
