Book Review: CSS Mastery
February 28, 2006
‘CSS Mastery’ covers the most sought after CSS concepts, tips and techniques. It’s a must-have book for any intermediate level web designer because of the way it covers the material: it is concise, clear and pragmatic.
Just when you’re finished learning one great CSS technique, you turn the page and bing-bang, there’s another juicy one to jump into! A nice change from the zealot batherings I’ve had to endure in other books on the subject!
Like all the books from this publisher, it is also well put together physically:
- Good layout
- Good choice of paper
- Easy to read font
- Not too thick or thin
- Good use of graphics/diagrams
The publisher (Friends of Ed,) have done a great job with their web design books lately; ‘CSS Mastery’ along with Dan Cederholm’s book (Web Standards Solutions) are the best out there today.
I have yet to read ‘Web Designer’s Reference’ by Cederholm, but I hear it’s good too.
