Who Should Read This Book? This book is ideal for anyone who wants to gain the practical skills involved in using CSS to make attractive web sites, especially if you're not the type who likes to learn by memorizing a formal specification and then trying to work out which browsers implemented it completely (does anyone enjoy reading specifications?). The only knowledge you'll need to have is some familiarity with HTML. This book will give designers the skills they need to implement their ideas, and provides developers with creative inspiration through practical examples. Book News Annotation:Loaded with illustrations, samples and code, this handbook and
reference is also a dream book of sorts, giving developers concrete
ideas to use in developing their work and making it work and look
like a real pro created it. The authors keep it simple by focusing on
content and the quality of the finished product rather than
explaining features described elsewhere. They focus on elegance and
appropriate style for the user in such topics as headings, images,
backgrounds, navigation, forms, rounded corners and navigation.
Readers also get a great deal of code that is clean and mean, and can
apply the advice to a wide variety of applications very easily. The
illustrations serve as inspiration and the directions make good
sense, especially if you have specific questions about a feature or a
method.
