About this title: There are several other books on the market that serve as in-depth technical guides or reference books for CSS. None, however, take a more hands-on approach and use practical examples to teach readers how to solve the problems they face in designing with CSS - until now. Eric Meyer provides a variety of carefully crafted projects that teach how to use CSS and why particular methods were chosen. The web site includes all of the files needed to complete the tutorials in the book. In addition, bonus information is be posted.

"A very hands-on trip through CSS from simple font and color changes to layout and positioning. This book stops short of more "interactive" styles because that sort of thing requires JavaScript, which is beyond the scope of the book.
The opening chapter deals with converting a site from table-based layout to style-based, a worthy endeavor for any developer. From that point forward, it's a step by step walk through total conversions of various pages, with explanations of the code along the way. Syntax is never explained explicitly, but CSS syntax is so simple that it can be easily picked up along the way.
Going from this book to building my own sites was a very easy and simple transition.
It must be highlighted, however, that this book does not explore any design theory. You will not learn how to choose appropriate colors or pick fonts or design good layouts from this book. But if you already have these things in mind, the book will teach you how to apply those designs to a web page."
"I used this book as a starter, for I didn't know CSS before reading it. I followed it writing the code in Dreamweaver, but you could do it with any simple text editor.
Eric Meyer is really the CSS master. This book is very well done with exercices to follow step by step. So, if you want to follow examples, a little bit like a personnal teacher, then this book is for you.
The only drawback to this book, which prevented me from rating it a 5 stars, is that it is really not good for a reference book once you have finished reading it (or if you want to just have a book on your shelf for when you have a specific question).
For that, I would recommand The CSS Anthology by Rachel Andrew."
