Book description
This book teaches how to use CSS3 to build cool, responsive user
interface features that are feasible for use in real-world projects
today. Readers will appreciate the author's approachable style and
will catch on quickly with this easy-to-follow, practical guide.
Well known and respected CSS3 expert Chris Mills devotes much of
the book to creating fallbacks for older browsers, so that the
content will still be accessible and usable.
Each chapter begins with a quick reference sheet with all the
syntax, fallbacks, backward compatibility, and browser support
(including mobile). The author clearly explains what the CSS
features do and why they are useful. Then he demonstrates a simple
design that illustrates usage, followed by more complex variations.
The chapter then covers appropriate fallbacks/shivs for older
browser support and problems that currently exist for that feature.
Topics include CSS3 typography, bling boxes, navigation buttons,
animated effects using CSS3, using CSS3 to implement icons, CSS3
layout chops, adaptive layouts and responsive design, fluid layouts
and percentages, and styling media. The book's companion website
offers a PDF of each chapter's cheat sheet, as well as sample code
used in the book, available for free download and updated
regularly.
