Reading From the Duckett HTML book:

Chapter 4: Ch.4 “Links” (pp.74-93) Chapter 15: “Layout” (pp.358-404) Note: This layout chapter is BIG. Focus your attention on understanding the core concepts presented on pp.358-364, and look at the code samples on the website that accompanies the textbook. You will have another reading assignment on this chapter, so do not try to digest it all now.
