This book is extremely simplistic in its examples. It does provide a good base knowledge of how CSS should be implemented and some good examples of functions. That bieng said it does not address browser compatability much at all, it favors Internet Explorer (which is great) but as a result several of the examples which are hybrid CSS versions fail in a Mozilla browser.

If you're looking for something to understand CSS and what it is: this book is great. As a technical reference it is not that useful.

I have not read this book yet. I bought it as an ADOBE eBook. I am sure it is probably very good. My disapointment is that it is DSM ("digital security management"? - I think) YOU CANNOT TRANSFER IT TO YOUR POCKET PDA as a workable file in ADOBE format. I did not see that anywhere when I made the purchase. Perhaps I overlooked it...don't you.

I already knew the basics of CSS when I purchased this but wanted a reference manual. I haven't had a question that I could not find an answer for in this book.

If you're just learning, then this is also a great book. It really is "by example" and it's great that you can get the code files off his web site and then just work with the different CSS examples to see how you can control formatting.

I recommend this book without hesitation for people new or familiar with CSS.

I have been easing into CSS for a few months now. I mainly get my information from websites and tutorials. This book helped me SO MUCH. In the fist two chapters my eyes were opened to things I had already done but didn't understand why they worked or didn't work. It is great for anyone new to CSS and feeling a little confused.

If you need a book that starts from the square one - this is it! Easy to understand and it takes you through the process step by step.
