Book Description

Publication Date: 31 July 2009 | Series: In Easy Steps


CSS in easy steps instructs you how to create exciting web pages using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). It contains separate chapters on all features of modern style sheets. This popular title is updated for Web 2.0 and includes examples and browser screenshots that illustrate each aspect of CSS.

CSS in easy steps begins with a brief history of web page design then explains how style sheets can determine the presentation of elements within HTML documents. Examples show how CSS rules control the appearance of text, content boxes, lists, tables, backgrounds, and how they can create dynamic effects. You will learn how to position web page content with absolute precision and how to use relative positioning so web pages can look great in any browser. Each chapter builds your knowledge of style sheets. By the end of this book you will have gained a sound understanding of CSS and be able to create your own exciting interactive web pages.

CSS in easy steps has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to anyone who wants to begin creating stylish web pages. It will appeal to programmers who want to quickly learn the latest style sheet techniques, and to the student who is studying website design at school or college, and to those seeking a career in web development that need a thorough understanding of CSS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taking your basic HTML to the next level 23 April 2006
By Nathan Turnbull
Format:Paperback
I decided a couple of weeks ago to create my own website, so a bought Mike McGrath's books HTML In Easy Steps and found it very simple to follow. Within a short time I went from knowing no HTML to being able to create set of reasonable, if basic, WebPages.

A friend recommended I improve my page design by using CSS and as I found HTML In Easy Steps so good I decided to buy CSS In Easy Steps.

CSS In Easy Steps is a must buy for anyone who has grasped the basics of HTML and wants to be more creative with their page design. The book is well laid out and provides more then enough detail for even beginners to create very good looking pages. I will say the book doesn't provide all the answers and some trial and error will be required to get the page layout exactly as you want but that just add to the fun of creating a Website.

Overall I recommend this book to take your basic HTML knowledge to the next level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable 12 Nov 2010
By Vicki
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am trying to learn how to build websites and, since I bought it, I have consulted this little gem time and time again. The instructions are really clear and easy to follow. There is also a link to files of examples that you can download, so you don't need to type in code manually for the more complicated templates.

Good for beginners and pros alike, full of hot tips and best practice guides. Big thumbs up!

4.0 out of 5 stars The title says it all. 9 Jun 2010
By K. Bradley
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book is well written and easy to follow. The title says in easy steps and it certainly feels that way. It can be read through and the order is mostly logical. I tend to use the book to look in the contents to find the relavent section and I find it works well as a reference book with each section having a concise example that can be downloaded from the website. The book goes well with other books in the series such as the javascript one I have. The full colour examples look good, and the author has given the view from a number of browsers to ensure you understand the difference between different company's browsers. I did find one issue in that the unit of Em was not explained before it went into use, though when it was explained a couple of chapters later it was a good explanation. The book assumes basic knowledge of HTMl so it may well assume you know the units as well, though as it explained them afterwards it appears it may not have. As the values of Ems were clear in the examples it wasn't neccesary to know what the unit meant for the example to work. As CSS is required for web design it might have been nice to have a few more hints in the book about good design in a website, but apparently the book is purely how to use CSS and any application of it was useful but it is left up to the reader to find another source for design style. Overall a great book, definitely a great start in CSS and for the casual web designer it's probably all you need though I'm sure there is a lot you can do with CSS that isn't covered but doesn't need to be covered at this level.
