From A to A cover

As it becomes impossible to imagine a world without a World Wide Web, information organization, delivery, and production have converged on the simple principle of marking up information for given audiences.
From A to investigates the relationship between media and culture by articulating questions regarding the role of markup. How do the codes of HTML, CSS, PHP, and other markup languages affect the Web's everyday uses? How do these languages shape the Web's communicative functions? This novel inquiry positions markup as the basis of our cultural, rhetorical, and communicative understanding of the Web.

"From A to is a marvelous conception—notably good, in essay after essay, at constructing and mining a developmental history of web technologies. Bradley Dilger and Jeff Rice have assembled a remarkably thoughtful community of thinkers." —Stuart Muolthrop, University of Baltimore
