For the Beginner — Approved by an Expert, September 12, 2006

Brett Merkey (Palm Harbor, FL United States) – See all my reviews

This review is from: CSS: The Missing Manual (Paperback)

?

Consider this a “getting started the right way with HTML and CSS” book. As such, it does a marvelous job.

I had a chance to get this beginner’s book — even though my bosses have been grossly overpaying me for years if I really were a beginner! Too many beginner books tend to over-simplify, which becomes a barrier to the more complex issues that a serious beginner will meet down the line. That is not the case here.

Step by step (sometimes even telling you what and when to click!) the book will take you through the basics of creating stylesheets for HTML. You will move from text format basics to moderately advanced layout issues and even print media stylesheets.

The text of the book itself is formatted in an interesting way that is easy to read and makes points clear. There are lots of images and diagrams. I liked the way many of the illustrations jutted out into the outer margin. The effect was a vivid enhancement and the book is bound…

Excellent book on CSS, December 27, 2006

Andrew Violette “www.andrewviolette.net” (Hoffman Estates, IL United States) – See all my reviews

This review is from: CSS: The Missing Manual (Paperback)

The problem with many of the CSS books that I have read is that most of them just reiterate the CSS specification. While this is useful knowledge, it doesn’t cover what you need to know to build robust web applications that work consistently across the myriad of browsers on the internet.

This book covers the usual stuff with CSS: styles, precedence rules (the cascade), text and fonts, padding and spacing, the box model, positioning, tables, etc. It also goes into detail about how to apply this knowledge.

Some of the stuff that is included:

– building tabs with the Sliding Doors technique

– Entire chapter related to IE6 and how it diverges from the spec, and work-arounds (aka hacks) that can be used to correct these problems. Other browsers such as Opera and Safari are also covered throughout the book.

– Entire chapter related to floats and using these to create column-based layous. Work-arounds to problems and unexpected behavior…
