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

The Best Learning Resource on CSS, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

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. |
