The CSS Cookbook
Using the 'house' style for O'Reilly Cookbooks, this new release by Christopher Schmitt is sure to be a great help to Web developers striving to use CSS in their designs, and needing tips and tricks to get them over the occasional hurdle.
The style of the book is to identify a specific issue (say setting a background image) and then tackle it using the Cookbook style Problem – Solution – Discussion approach to setting out the information needed. The concise format of the first two sections allows quick identification (or reminder) of issues and provides focussed code snippets. The discussion portion gives space for a rounded explanation, and furnishes the reader with the understanding they need to customise the code for their own purposes.
This book covers CSS2.1 with chapters covering topics such as Web Typography, Links and Navigation, Forms, Hacks and Workarounds and Designing with CSS.
Oh, and it features a grizzly bear on the cover!
