Overview

Cascading style sheets have become one of the most important technologies on the web today, giving web developers the power to style their web sites so they are usable, lean and small in file size, look great, display consistently across most if not all web browsers. Moreover, changes in look and layout are quick and efficient. There are many books available on CSS, but this one is different -- it wastes less time discussing theory, and gets straight to the practical learning, quickly giving readers what they need to know. In addition, it is completely up to date, covering the most modern CSS standards and design techniques. Beyond the CSS essentials, advanced techniques are covered, including accessibility, hacks and filters. The book concludes with a case study, and a CSS reference section to allow the reader to look up required syntax in seconds.
