Editorial Review: Product Description: Cascading Style Sheets enable you to rapidly create web designs that can be shared by hundreds or even thousands of web pages. It accelerates development cycles by centralizing text and layout information for easy editing and updates. This book teaches you everything you need to know to start using CSS in your web development work, from the basics of marking up your content and styling text, through the creation of multi-column page layouts without the use of tables. Learn to create interface components, such as drop-down menus, navigation links, and animated graphical buttons, using only CSS (no JavaScript required). Discover how to design code that works on the latest standard-compliant browsers, such as IE7 and current versions of Firefox, Safari, and Opera, while working around the quirks of the older ones. With a mastery of CSS, your web design capabilities will move to a new level, and everything you need to know to get started and build your skills is right here in this book. You’ll be stylin’ in no time! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great book!I have seveal books on CSS but this one is my favotire. Great for the novice or for someone like me who is somewhat experienced. I wanted to convert a few sites to use CSS, and was able to do everything with help from this book. The author explains CSS very well. Rating: - Lots of useful informationI was fairly new to CSS, having picked up a few intro books and dabbling a bit, so I was looking for a book that would help me move to the next level.

Why? - clear explanations on principles and workings, easy to read and follow, helpful pointers to others in the field, nice reference to have around. I'm already on another of his books. Rating:  - Looks like an eye-candy book, yet serves as a referenceThis book is easy to read and the pages have color throughout. There is a companion web site where you can download all the code, which really adds to the usefulness of the book. It is rare for a reference book to be engaging reading, but whoever laid out the pages here visually complemented the depth of material perfectly. I guess the author and publisher know that, as this is already the second edition of the book. Along with the second edition of Dan Cederholm's Bulletproof Web Design and CSS ...

However,One bone I picked with the Author was on the issue of Opera browser.Though I use ... Read More |
