Product Description
Synopsis
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 posted. www.newriders.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing change!, 23 Jul 2002
If you're like me, then you'll absolutely hate (and be sick of) all the CSS books that teach you how to style a webpage that looks like it has leapt right off of a browser from 1995! You know the thing... a page title with a background image, followed by a horizontal rule and then a coloured rectangle including some bold italic text! Not to mention the tiled page background image. Nice!

Well, this book blows away the myth that you can't style modern, design orientated sites using CSS. Each project is a real world example, and you get a great feel of how to implement the teachings on other projects.

The joy of the writing style is that you can either "play along" on the PC, or just read the book first. I have found that reading the sections and then programming is best.

If you are a complete CSS newbie, then this book is probably not ALL you will need. There is no real explanation of some of the terms and principles used, but where I've been in doubt, a simple web search has given me the answers needed. I'm sure even if you are a CSS expert then you will learn new techniques from the book.

This book definitely get's 5 stars from me, and if I had a hat on I'd tip it in Eric Meyers' general direction!

4.0 out of 5 stars thick content, though perhaps not the most efficient methods, 1 Jun 2004
By Ian Stalvies "istalvies" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All of the other reviews on this page are spot on - Eric Meyer has a fantastic knowledge of what you can do with CSS (see meyerweb.com for up to date stuff) and as a pure reference guide of examples and case studies, there probably isn't a better tome on the market as of 2004.

Just ONE caveat however - the abundance of detail isn't always backed up by a clear, concise approach, such as planning the page in advance, grouping elements in a logical manner and so on. This means that unless you live your life in code, it can take a while to find out what's making the changes and causing the pretty effects he describes throughout!

5.0 out of 5 stars Making CSS easy, 6 Oct 2002
By Mr Simon Loughran (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Eric Meyer is a genius. Not only is he an expert in the field of CSS, but he is also graced with the ability to explain the subject so that anyone can understand it.

The book seems a bit pricey, and I was reluctant to part with my money, but having read it I can say it was worth every penny. Topics that used to have me banging my head on the keyboard now seem simple.

Unlike many CSS authors, Meyer doesn't take the "get rid of table layouts for good" approach. He obviously lives in the real world of web design and fully appreciates the constraints sometimes imposed by clients.

So far I am just dabbling with CSS. This book is great for taking you from ground zero to something svelte. The lessen format is like having your personal tutor. Read more
