There is no need to read other books on CSS. If you are new to the subject, simply reading the text and noticing how Peter Gasston approaches each section will give you a crash course on the subject. If you already have some CSS knowledge then this book will fill in a lot of the gaps in your knowledge and get you up to date. Full Review >

The high points in this book from Jeff Patton are too numerous to mention. I found myself taking copious notes, and you could do the same, but it would probably make more sense to keep it near you and dip into it regularly until you have fully digested it. Full Review >

This is a short introduction that is understandable, gets you started, and serves as a precursor to delving into the Couchbase documentation. A side benefit is that it also serves as an introduction to the world of NoSQL data storage. Take a look at the Couchbase documentation and if you find it confusing then this book should work for you. What is noticeable about this book? The clarity of the various explanations. Full Review >

Applying CSS3 to Documents

If you are new to CSS you may find this book heavy going. One option would be to choose an introductory text. In time you would probably end up here though so a thorough reading of this and some time spent working with and modifying the examples should prove a good investment. This book is the one that should be on your shelf and will probably be the one you reach for when you are getting surprising results from your style sheet and can’t understand why. Full Review >

The book gives an interesting insight into the way large software companies manage projects. And the principles here are scalable; they would work in a small business or a startup. Would the book help me to create a minimum viable product and ship it? Yes, but with my eyes open. Full Review >
