I get asked quite often which book I’d recommend for learning about CSS and up until now I’ve been recommending CSS Mastery by Andy Budd, et al. However, after reading Simon Collison’s latest, Beginning CSS Web Development, I think I have a new default.
Simon Collison spills the beans on applying CSS to your web pages in this superb book. Thanks to his engaging style, CSS has never seemed so inviting, and the nuggets of coding info here make it an essential addition to your web design library.
One of the finest introductory guides I’ve ever read on any subject.
Apress and Friends of ED published my writing during the height of web standards advocacy in the noughties. The best-known of those books is probably CSS Mastery, co-authored with Andy Budd and Cameron Moll.
In 2006, Apress published Beginning CSS Web Development, my first book as a solo author. The book was a huge success and gained lots of plaudits, settling at 4.3/5 on Amazon with 65% five-star rating.
This chapter invites both the table and the definition list to stay behind after school and explain themselves. It can be argued that the bad wrap isn’t their fault at all — they’ve just been hanging around with the wrong web designers.— Introducing chapter eight
