Books : CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions

  

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One of the better CSS guidebook selections out there.
This book is a strong purchase anyone looking to build upon their CSS skills. It's thorough, humorous, and to-the-point. CSS Mastery by Andy Budd should be the logical next step after reading CSS: The Missing Manual, which I highly recommend for anyone new to CSS and CSS concepts.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simply the best!
Buy it. You will learn everything you need to create a good CSS site. Enough said!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Only need one book?
If you only want one book on CSS, this is it! Not only is the reference complete. But it goes one step further offering examples of how to apply CSS. In my opinion that gives it the edge over other books I have on the subject. This is one book that will never go in the garage sale!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent reference despite errors
I can not argue with many of the other reviews which describe the errors in the book. There are more than a few. However, most advanced CSS users should be able to spot the errors relatively quickly. But lets not concentrate on the errors.

This book is one of the few CSS books that lives up to its title. This is a book on Mastering CSS, and is an advanced book on CSS (the only truly advanced CSS book that I am familiar with). I find myself re-reading this book quite frequently, to reacquaint myself with the information within. CSS is all about details and the results in multiple browsers. This references helps describe the differences not by simply pointing them out, but by illustrating why they occur.

Highly recommended book... any developer who uses CSS should have this reference at their disposal.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Glaring Errors
I'm very surprised that no one has mentioned the glaring errors in Chapter 3. A lot of the code does not match many of the names from the downloaded files. The code from pages 52-53 is identical to 50-51 even though it mentions that there are different images. The color they mention doesn't match the images. So far, NOT IMPRESSED!
