Cheesy Title, but an Awesome CSS Book!, By
This review is from: Stylin' with CSS: A Designer's Guide (Paperback)
When I started browsing Amazon for a CSS book appropriate for a beginner, I was overwhelmed by just how many there are out there! I read all the reviews and such, but could not really determine any major difference between the books or figure out which ones were `better than the others.I decided that in order to make my decision I was going to have to flip through the books a little myself before purchasing. I took my little list to the local bookstore, gathered all of them up, and plopped down on a couch. I flipped through about 6 different books including Designing with Web Standards, CSS Core, CSS Cookbook, Beginning CSS, both Eric Meyer books, and of course, Stylin' with CSS. I really didn't expect much from this book, I kind of grabbed it as an afterthought, or "might as well..." I spent a good hour or so browsing the table of contents, reading bits and pieces of each book to get a feel for the author's style. I have to say I was not impressed... Read more

Very Helpful and easy, By
This review is from: Stylin' with CSS: A Designer's Guide (Paperback)
Stylin' has easy to understand examples, and gets straight to the point. If anyone wants to learn CSS, in an easy and none confusing way, I really recommend this book. Unlike other books I read on the subject, books that tend to overwhelm the reader with un-necessities, Stylin' gets to the heart of what's important and provides examples of how to do the design.I originally pursued this book because I wanted to learn how to design web pages without using tables, and this book has helped me tremendously. It's a starter book, not an advanced. But after reading, you'll be designing web pages properly using cascading style sheets for presentation, and XHTML for content.

The Best Learning Resource on CSS, By
This review is from: Stylin' with CSS: A Designer's Guide (Paperback)
If you are a beginner or an intermediate user who wants to learn CSS from the ground up this is simply the best source out there.I got this book two days ago and I did not stop reading it since. It is very well written - detailed, funny, interesting and it does not treat you like a CSS dummy, but like someone who has to learn this skills to apply it in practice. Its use of visuals, step-by-step examples and supporting tips is excellent. If you are looking to learn CSS styling, specially for business applications - buy this book. I also liked "Eric Myer on CSS" book, but that one was more design oriented, and less pedagogical. |
