Finally information that is modern unlike most other videos/books that just explain rudimentary basics and nothing on how to handle common issues with CSS in modern design. Andy Clarke is awesome!

Andy Clarke is a reference in the CSS world and can explain this subject better than anyone.
His web design principles are inspiring and every web designer should learn about semantic markup and the importance of creating the visual design of a page using CSS elements and rules.

Very informative and inspiring! This guy is a fantastic educator and he keeps you interested and involved. Right up there with Web Standards Creativity as one of the best books/videos for showing you how to push the web design envelope while not breaking the browser.
