There now follows a public service announcement on behalf of the Rissington Podcast. Jon: Hello, welcome to this one-off special edition of the Rissington Podcast. My name is Jon Hicks. this, over here, is John Oxton. John: Hello! Jon: Hello! We're just gonna cover one question in this podcast, cos it's one we get asked quite a lot, and it's from our old mate Fido Gesiwuj. John: [Chuckling in background] Jon: So, Fido asks: "I was wondering if you could recommend a book to give to someone who's never created a web site. The thing is, I don't want them to go down the old school route, I want them to learn HTML and CSS from the outset. Is there something that can take a newbie like him through it all? John: It just so happens .. [laughs] ... that we have the very book right here! Is that a real question? Did that really come from a Fido Gessywidge? Jon: It says 'love and snogs, your mate Fido' John: Oh, it must be true. Well, we do have ... there's a couple I could recommend but I'm going to recommend my friend Ian's book ... holding it up here now for the camera: Build Your Own Web Site the Right Way Using HTML and CSS. This is your copy actually, Mr Hicks Jon: Yes, it is. John: 'cos I gave mine away to a friend who was trying to learn websites, had a flick through and was like: "This!" And he really liked it I think because it's nice simple language ... Jon: Yes John: ... and not too patronising Jon: Nothing kind of assumed before you start reading it John: No. So, it's good Jon: Excellent! John: I think this teaches you how to build web sites not design them, how to build them properly. Jon: Yeah, but how to do it right from the start rather than ... John: Yes Jon: Excellent! So there you go, Fido. And I think, is that in the second edition now? John: Er, should be. I'm sure Ian said the second edition is coming or is here now. Jon: Updatier, shinier John: Yes. Greener. Bluer. Redder. Lovely. Sexier. OK Jon: Thank you very much and see you on the next Rissington Podcast. John: Goodbye! Jon: Goodbye!
