This section provides HTML and XHTML resources which you will hopefully find useful. Over time, we hope to turn this section into a comprehensive reference for both beginners and experts. We are trying to provide working solutions for professional applications. The HTML and XHTML coding examples in this section are taken from real projects. Links to external websites are hand-picked and we only recommend literature which we frequently use ourselves.
