Product Description
Product Description
Learning to apply CSS is the HTML Web publisher¿s next developmental step toward a professional and stable Web design. A prerequisite to learning higher-level languages like Javascript, Java, and Flash, CSS is gaining increasing support among major browsers, including Netscape, Internet Explorer (together 94% market share) and newcomers Opera, Mozilla and NeoPlanet, and backwards-compatibility with older browser versions and specialized browsers.
The key to successful CSS implementation is in understanding how different browsers use and interpret CSS. This tutorial takes the unique position of teaching the reader how to make smart decisions about how and when to apply CSS, based on browser support and intended effects. In 24 straightforward, hourly lessons, the reader learns by accomplishing hands-on tasks that can be applied to his own site in every hour.

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.
