CSS Mastery: Advanced Web
Standards Solutions, Second Edition
by Cameron Moll
Excellent Learning Tool
The Internet abounds with information on CSS based design. However its
spread across a large and disparate group of sites and can be very difficult
to find. The purpose of this book is to pull all this information together in
one place, thus creating a definitive guide to modern CSS based
techniques. The book can be read cover to cover, with each chapter
building on the previous one. However it can equally be used as a
reference book, dipping into each chapter or technique to help solve
specific problems. This second edition contains: * New examples and
updated browser support information * New case studies from Simon
Collison and Cameron Moll * CSS3 examples, showing new CSS3
features, and CSS3 equivalents to tried and tested CSS2 techniques CSS

Personal Review: CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards
Solutions, Second Edition by Cameron Moll
Concise: an introductory chapter, a chapter explaining the box model, 5
short chapters covering the most useful basics of a few ways to use CSS,
two chapters on hacks & bugs, and two case studies. A few hours and
you're done -- ready to hit the ground running. This book is by no means a
thorough reference: instead, Andy Budd gets down to the point quickly with
no extraneous explanations or examples.
Each topic is addressed with a short, lucid explanation, accompanied by
some code, useful graphics explaining concepts, and an example. Andy's
style of presenting the material carries the same succinct, high-quality feel
as his work (see clearleft.com).
The number of techniques, bugs, hacks and filters can be quite
overwhelming for a newcomer, especially due to browser inconsistencies.
It is therefore imperative to start coding immediately in order to become
familiar with the techniques and gain some confidence in using them. This
is not due to the nature of the book, but instead due to the nature of CSS.
As for me, I'll be referring to the book on countless occasions in the future.
