"Indeed a missing manual for CSS. Thank you !" - by SB on 26-OCT-2012
Reviewer Rating:
Did not even realize CSS had so much power. The book is simply amazing that takes you from simple techniques to more advanced topics with chapter by chapter approach. The samples provided were also really useful and the approach to make you work on the samples to see for yourself how you modify a simple HTML page into stylish one is really cool. The reason I gave 4 star is that the publisher doesn't provide you the option to download / print chapters with your safari download tokens.

"Excellent examples" - by Anonymous on 21-JUN-2012

Some of the browser references are dated because of the date of the book. I don't think too many site designers care about IE 6 anymore. Having said that the examples are superb and description are clear and easily understandable.

"Excellent book - Covers all areas very well" - by wiseguy12851 on 06-AUG-2011

This book will start off by teaching the very basics such as linking CSS styles and what classes & ID's are... etc... then get more complex covering all the different CSS properties. With each property it proves invaluable tips & tricks, some I've never seen anywhere else, as well as CSS design tips like "CSS tables" instead of traditional tables. It also explains in more detail than other books I've read how to go about positioning content and when positioning is appropriate. Throughout are countless time saving tricks and tips for the vast array of Internet Explorer browsers from IE6 up to IE8. ----- This is a must read for anyone

"bravo!" - by Doug FL on 21-MAR-2011

Fantastic book that instills in the reader the basics of CSS while making sure include some very powerful uses of CSS.  So important for "regular" developers to know about CSS because it changes the way you program! And, for me, I thought I knew CSS - but didn't know enough and that is more dangerous than knowing nothing.  It's a great read compared to other css / programming books.
