I love this, web developing without table mania,  October 12 2006

A very good book that demonstrates the power of CSS. It is a
book
that purely focuses on CSS that assumes a through understanding of
HTML.
I've done server side program and client side program and CSS's
ability
to completely steer away from the use of table makes for a much
cleaner
and slicker way of programming and developing websites. It removes
the
cluttered formatting of embedded tables.

This book introduces new concept to web development, lets the web
developer plan, design and using such incredibly simplistic tools to
create incredibly dynamic content. Much of the embedded java
script is
becoming useless with some of these innovations that are
presented in
this book.

The authors present the material in a clear focused manner. It
allows
the user to read along and work on real content following along
with the
author progressively going from a simple web page to everything this
book claims to teach. It also contains a comprehensive reference of
CSS. A great book that will help you transition to the next
generation
of web development.
