5.0 out of 5 stars These CSS books are getting better and better, 18 Aug 2005
By Mr. Shane Porter "shaneporter66" (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There have been quite a few CSS-related books released of late, a trend that is following the larger number of sites build with web standards.

Whereas a book such as 'Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook' by Dan Cederholm is great, this book excels because of its examination of standards built sites such as blogger.com and the us pga tour golf site.

There are a large number of examples, and the book is generally well written.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very average, too many (poor) jokes, not enough insight, 14 Jul 2009
By C. Dive-reclus (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book to have a deep understanding of the CSS paradigms and how best they match problems faced by Web designers who cannot assume a speficic screen size or format (i.e phones and desktop screens).
How disappointed I am! The book tries to joke with the reader all the time in a very condescendant way (page 12, "This should-oh, you get the point. Happy yet?". Rather than explaining in an generic fashion what the problem is and what the solution is, the reader is inundated with numerous examples of the same symptomatique issue page after page. Once again, do the authors think that we cannot grasp very basic abstract concepts? Is it a tentative to fill up the requested minimum number of pages set by the editor?
This book is at best a cookbook, at worse a waste of time. It does certainly not provide any insight into CSS and won't help you design your website both for desktop screens and smartphone screens.
