• Nice Guideline To Stilesheet's Nightmare 07 May, 2007
A useful book for who wants to begin to develop a styled sheet HTML page from scratch. Non so teaching but more friendly.

• Good Quick Reference 13 January, 2007
Everything looked to be clearly and simply explained. I've come to use it as a quick reference if I need to jog my memory. This book provides a solid foundation you can build on.

• Perfect For What It Is 31 January, 2007
Yes, you're not going to become an expert on CSS with this book. But this was my first time working with stylesheets and I was able to get up to speed very quickly - I went through the book in 1 hour WITH running and editing the code (which can be downloaded from SAMS website) to make sure I understood all the examples (disclaimer: I have a PhD in Engineering with 2 minors and I'm proficient in many programming languages). The examples will seem repetitive only if you're not in front of the computer trying the code - else it's nice to see the progression of each section of the chapter and actually see the changes on the screen and it only takes a few mins to go through them. It's cheap and short and sweet. Five stars. I'm now buying a more advanced book on the topic (The Meyer's CSS Definitive guide) just as I'd planned.
Basically -
Advanced and intermediate users: look elsewhere, nothing for you here
Beginners who want to learn CSS before going to bed: yes yes yes (make sure you download the code from the website first)

No plain English explanation of the reasoning behind the code. Assumes you'll understand what he means by "adjacent sibling selectors" and "document tree". I gleaned some knowledge by copying the examples and trial and error, but it was frustrating and tedious. If you're a programmer you might be able to decipher this book, but if you're a newbie you'll get a clearer introduction, with relevant details, from a book like "HeadFirst HTML" by Elisabeth and Eric Freeman.

• James Tadeo, Web Design Brampton 20 July, 2007
I work with Web sites every day and will need a reference now and again to get my work done. This book is handy and fits nicely in my pack and acts as my main reference for CSS. The examples are clear and build from the previous chapters. It also has an accompanying Web site that shows you what the CSS script will look like when implemented. I believe this is a good starter book and the price is just right.
