Book Reviews of CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions

Book Review: This is a great book
Summary: 5 Stars

This book clearly explains the concepts of CSS and is very good for people who learned how to do webpages using tables. I purchased another book that just shows how to do one example, this book clearly explains why to do things and gives you a good basis for future sites, not just learning how to do one specific example. I would highly recommend this book.

Summary of CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions

Over the past couple of years, web designers and developers have begun taking more care in designing and building web sites. Less readily do they turn to old-fashioned techniques such as GIF spacers, tables for layout, and deprecated HTML elements, which can cause accessibility/usability problems and are just bad practice. There are three main web standards married together to create usable, standards-compliant web designs - XHTML for data structure, JavaScript for dynamic effects, and Cascading Style Sheets for styling your data.

Working as a companion to our Web Standards Solutions book, this title covers advanced Cascading Style Sheet techniques, and includes are all the techniques you need to master CSS and craft modern, standards-compliant web page designs. You'll already know why you should be using CSS, so we don't bore you with pages of theory; instead, we jump straight into practical solutions, allowing you to get what you need as quickly as possible.

Renowned web designer Andy Budd starts off by introducing the elements of an effective CSS toolkit, including good working practices, the cascade, the box model, relative and absolute positioning, floating, and more. He then delves into advanced techniques like replacing images, styling links and lists, creating navigation menus, making forms look good, debugging and overcoming browser quirks, and hacking and filtering. The book is rounded off with two case studies to give you inspiration for your own designs, written by two more of the world's finest web designers, Simon Collinson and Cameron Moll.
