Hey, Good Looking ... January 22, 2007

CSS is the way to make web sites look good and, as standards now separate content from presentation, it's essential to have a grasp of at least the basics of using CSS for even the simplest web page.
That said, there seem to be more CSS books on the market than one could shake a stick at, and some of them are rather expensive. How then is one to choose between them?! One way is to check out the author portrait on the back of the book. Rachel Andrew is quite a stunner, and I'd be more than happy to have her instruct me on how best to style my ids and classes, not to mention how to fiddle with ems until my absolute or relative positioning was just right :-)

This book was recommended for a course I took on Advanced Web Design and CSS.
I have developed three web sites using it, each one using more and more adventurous and clever little CSS techniques from this book.
I'd recommend it highly. It's very hands on and tackles many of the day to day problems that any beginner or intermediate designer trying to build a web site will inevitably run into pretty quickly.
I've seen quite a few IT books in my time and, let's face it, lots of them are far too 'techie' and so full of information that you don't know where to start on them. Many of them make you want to groan out loud just looking at them.
I found this book refreshingly down to earth and practical and not bogged down with loads of information that the average web designer isn't going to use ever anyway.
If you buy this book, don't forget to go to Sitepoint's web site where you can download all the examples used in the book.
Quite possibly the best CSS book you can buy October 13, 2006

If you do a bit of web design on the side, part of a course (like me) or for your living this book will be a godsend. If you're like me and are fairly good at web design - you know HTML well, CSS, some JavaScript maybe and some PHP perhaps, but you're useless at the visual design aspects then this book will again be a godsend.
The book will serve as a handy reference for when you forget those tags which we all do from time to time, failing that it will give the power to produce complete page layouts like a three column layout with links on the left, content in the middle and further images/text on the right, and without a table in site!
This book is perfect for the beginner aswell as it starts from the ground up. Highly recommended.
Instant CSS! Get this book September 1, 2006

Whilst not a deep and vroad view of CSS, this book gets you going with the technology instantly allowing great results and drive to explore the subject.
Great reference for beginers and advanced in CSS.
All must buy!

I have recently graduated from University with a degree in Computer Science. As such I have read A LOT of programming books whether its Java, C++, HTML etc. Not being the most talented programmer on the earth I used to go for the "for Dummies books" untill I started reading peoples reviews on Amazon. All the reviews for this book were really positive so I bought it.
NO misakes this is THE best book I have ever read regarding a technical topic. Really well written, really good examples, really good explanations and also it doesn't shy away from grey areas such as browser compatability like many other books. If you write websites either for fun or as a job then buy this book.
