The CSS Anthology

Very helpful book. It's great to know the theory, but with all the bugs and hacks involved with getting designs to work properly in all the browsers, web professionals need to get to the nitty gritty of simply making it work. The CSS Anthlogy provides a great "how do I" format that anyone can appreciate when a project is due and sifting through all the online info will takes years. Highly recommended resource!

Plain and Simple

This is an excellent book that covers most of the basic css applications used for websites. Very easy to read and find what you are looking for.

It stays in my breifcase at all times for a reference book.

Great Book! I'm a beginner!

This book has opened my eyes to the world of css. 101 has enabled me to update my site and have few problems. 101 has been a great reference and this book will always be near my computer. Now I need to find a great mysql book for beginners.

Some Book ...

Now, this is a book that other authors will envy. There's no blah-blah - only brief and clear instructions on how to achieve something specific. Aw, if only all books were written like this one. Yes, it's "only" slightly under 400 pages, but believe me, other authors would have put the same information into 600-700 pages.

On the first day I used this book, it has given me 5 immediate solutions for my own site. So it was well worth the money. Buy this, and you'll have a quick, readable reference guide for the most common problems.

No more frustration

This is a great book on CSS. I bought it on the strength of the reviews here, and I was not at all disappointed.

I am a developer by trade, and while I've had some experience with web design through various past projects, I've done very little with CSS. Laying web pages out in tables was what I knew, and so that's how I did it. Occasionally, I would use CSS to pull some of the markup out of the HTML so I didn't have to reuse it, but I never really leveraged (or understood) the power of CSS. This book changed a lot of that.

Within days of receiving this book, I started a couple new web projects. The first was a new website, and I got the opportunity to put a lot of the fantastic recipes to work, modifying them to suit my needs. The second web project involved taking a pre-existing web module (built with heavy CSS usage) and using it as a template for a new web system. The two systems were very different (the first was a news/content site and the system being built was a web application), so there were a lot of modifications that needed to be made, while keeping the general look and feel of the original site.

If this book was just recipes, I would have had a hard time with the second task. But because book goes into explanations of why the recipies work, breaking each recipe out into a series of steps with exposition of each, I was able to reuse concepts rather than just recipes.

As I mentioned before, I had a little CSS experience before reading this book. I was familiar with HTML, but I have never been a designer, and it has been a few years since I've really built a website. I feel this book got me back up to speed quickly, and I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to familiarize themselves with CSS.
