"I recommend this pocket reference for all Web Designers and web authors. " "Part of the highly-respected O'Reilly line of books, CSS: The Definitive Guide is just what the title implies: a comprehensive resource of excellent tutorials and guidelines to use when programming with CSS.
" "CSS: The Definitive Guide is a professional-level text, now in its third edition. However, it is well-written and does not require much more than a knowledge of HTML and some familiarity with other web technologies...The information is well presented: excellent typographic design; clear, jargon-free language; and excellent supporting illustrations." "CSS Pocket Reference is a compact and neatly organized gem of a book, packed with information of value to busy Web programmers." "This book is not a cover to cover read where you curl up by the fire and read all night, it is a well indexed research support manual -- keep it within reach -- you got a problem w/CSS? -- articulate the problem in your mind, then solve the problem using this book's resources -- checking the adequate table of contents and/or index...The book CSS: The Definitive Guide goes to the point discussion, defines the point, often in more than one way, explains the principle of the rule, and when necessary shows example code and an illustrative example... what more could you ask? ... Color illustrations maybe ;-] -- Buy the book." "...the author leaves no corner unturned. He starts out slow with an introduction to cascading style sheets and what they bring to the table. The following chapters then delve head first into topic after topic. You can be sure that you will know the technology through and through by the time you are finished with the book, just be prepared to spend some time working through the material. The author has done a wonderful job bringing to life a subject that might otherwise be quite dry. The years of experience he shares in chapter after chapter has made me glad that I've added this book to my library." "This is the standard and complete guide to the use of cascading style sheets, a technology that has transcended Web page design and migrated to chat clients, dashboard widgets and beyond. The author provides comprehensive coverage of CSS properties, tags, attributes, and implementations. If you buy only one book on CSS for your library, this is it!" "This book does a great job explaining the ins and outs of CSS. It would be tough to find a better book or a more knowledgeable author. Plenty of thorough explanations; including a handy property reference in the appendix." |
