Excellent book on CSS

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,...

A Great Way to Learn CSS!

After searching online and experiencing countless CSS tutorials, I have to say that this book ranks at the absolute top for learning CSS. From the straight-forward examples to the "easy reading" writing style, I have really enjoyed adding to my newbie knowledge of CSS. If you're tired of trying CSS tutorials that leave you more confused afterwards than you were going in, stop the madness and invest in this manual. I am only...
