Wonderful book on creating web sites that will scale and not break. The web is a constantly changing medium: new browsers, new protocols, new requirements. When we were making pixel-perfect layouts using graphics any change pretty much broke the page. Now, using semantic HTML and CSS, we can make sites that flex and don’t break and this book shows you how.
This isn’t a book for a beginner, you’d better know your p’s from your div’s, but it’s definitely worth reading. I’m not sure I’ll use all the coding methods covered, but it made me change how I think about my designs and I’m using some of the code in my pages. And by going through this coding, I learned a lot more about how CSS works and why it does some of the strange things it does (like how to use floats to make a div enclose all of it’s contents).
This is one of the best of the next-gen CSS books. Books that don’t list all the CSS rules and explain what each does, but books that show you how to use CSS and HTML together.
