Product Description
Product Description
CSS3 (Cascading Style Sheets 3) is the next major revision of the style sheet language that is used to describe the presentation (the appearance and formatting) of web pages written in HTML. CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation, including elements such as the colors, fonts, and layout. The CSS specification is developed and maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Different types and versions of web browsers, however, implement parts of the CSS specification incompletely and with varying levels of consistency. Although CSS 3 is still far from final, some parts of the specification have reached Candidate Recommendation stage, which has allowed the most recent versions of major browsers to begin to support these parts of the specification. Sams Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours is a carefully organized, well-written tutorial that teaches the beginning web page designer how to use CSS to specify how their web page will appear when displayed within a web browser. Learning to effectively use CSS is a critical developmental step for anyone aspiring to professional-level web page design skills. In 24 straightforward one-hour lessons, the reader learns by accomplishing hands-on tasks that can be applied to your own site.
- Teaches CSS in a straightforward and clear language that any beginner can understand
- Complete details on using CSS with all modern browsers

This is another excellent book in the SAMS "Teach Yourself" series. It assumes that you know nothing apart from basic HTML and goes from there. The chapters are well paced and introduce topics in a sensible order, each chapter building on the last.
With some of the later chapters, it helps to have a grasp of JavaScript but you could probably get by without it. However learning JavaScript in addition to CSS will help you get the most out of it.

I bought this book years ago but only I read it recently (2008) because the need to use CSS went away - and then came back... I shouldn't have bothered - I ended up wasting a lot of time...
If you're new to CSS like I am then the big thing you have to understand is that you don't just have to learn CSS - you have to learn about the bugs in the various browsers (mainly Internet Explorer) and the workarounds.
This book mentions some of them but doesn't offer any help with dealing with them. The problems have been tackled by others and learning about the solutions is just as important as learning about CSS itself.
I bought "CSS - The Missing Manual" by David Sawyer McFarland and it's excellent - not only does it teach you the CSS but it deals with the browser bugs, shows you techniques for dealing with tricky design/layout problems, and points you towards countless web sites that provide extra information, free CSS layouts/templates, and other resources.

I am a huge fan of the Sams "teach yourself....in 24 hours" series and this is no exception. It can be used as
a 24 part self-study course or as a handy book to dip into when you come unstuck. Straightforward guidance, clear
screenshots and easy to find your way around, my standard reference book for CSS.
Coupled with the resources available on the web I haven't felt I needed any other guide.
