We are happy to announce that the Second Edition of our book, Head First HTML and CSS arrived August 27, 2012, and is available for order on Amazon.com now. Renamed from Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML, the Second Edition drops the XHTML and focuses on HTML5. While much of the material is the same, there are small changes throughout the book that reflect updates in technology since the first edition from 2005 (has it really been that long?!). The chapter on XHTML is gone, and replaced by a whole new chapter that covers some of the new elements in HTML5, including <section>, <article>, <nav> and <video>.
