CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions (Solutions) Review
Before I begin, let me say this: Order this book! You will not regret it!
Andy Budd together with Simon Collison & Cameron Moll have put together a must have book for any Web Developer/Designer. Well written/organized and easy to read, if you've been looking for a book you can take with you anywhere, CSS Mastery is it.
This might be the only book out there that emcompases most of the current CSS techniques/tricks being used today, with topics such as:
- stylesheet maintenance
- margin collapsing
- image replacement techniques
- image maps
- form styling/layout
- fluid layouts
- elastic layouts
- hacks and filters
- bug fixing
and much more...
From basic concepts such as "planning, organizing and maintaining your stylesheets", to advanced concepts like "fluid and elastic images", this book will give you the necessary tools to be able to tackle any project that requires medium to advanced knowledge of CSS.
If you wish to consider yourself a "CSS Professional" you must read CSS Mastery.
