Editorial Review: Product Description: Professional CSS Cascading Style Sheets for Web Design As the preferred technology for Web design, cascading style sheets (CSS) enable Web designers and developers to define consistent styles on multiple pages. Written by leading CSS authors who are also professional programmers and designers, this is the first book to showcase examples of high-profile, real-world Web sites created by world-famous designers using CSS. Each chapter offers an exploratory look at each designer's process from start to finish and how he overcame each site's unique set of challenges. You'll learn what each designer would have done differently as well as various CSS tips and techniques that were used for each site. This is a resource to which you can turn regularly for more know-how and insights into designing large-scale, professional-level Web sites with CSS. What you will learn from this book * The preliminaries you need to iron out before you begin a site in order to avoid problems later * How to tackle browser-compatibility issues * Best practices for using XHTML with CSS * How to successfully integrate Flash content into an XHTML and CSS site * Using drop shadows, drop-down menus, bounding boxes, and rollovers * Ways to develop a site that can reliably handle constant streams of up-to-date information Who this book is for This book is for designers who understand CSS at an intermediate to advanced level, but who are looking to learn how to effectively develop CSS-enabled designs at a professional level. Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not Impressed!By the name "Professional" I expected a book that would pick where most "Beginning" CSS books left off. This book is mostly filled with case studies, that is it showing the code of several web sites, instead of being an instructional on how to take advantage of CSS's more advanced features. Its defiantly not what it was described as being. Rating:  - CSS Best PracticesThis book is a little out of date because it does not cover Internet Explorer 7.0. However, it does teach you all the CSS techniques that have been used for the past few years and points you to many resources for more information. I only read this book to review the best practices for using CSS and XHTML. Rating: - The Whole PictureI had learned CSS back in 98, when everything was new, and most of what CSS was MEANT to do just didn't work yet. Move forward 9 years and guess what? It still doesn't! However, this book helped me to expand my CSS understanding and do a lot more cool stuff than I used to be able to do. This is an industry that is ever changing and it pays to keep learning. Rating: - mediocre, opinionated, and somewhat boringThis is not a reference book nor a how to book. It describes web sites & how those sites tackled their display problems. If you have to buy 3 css books, I'd recommend this order: 1. OReilly - CSS The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer (great reference) 2. Any good CSS cookbook And, if you really need a 3rd book after the 2 above... consider this book along with any of the several others out there. PS: I am not a fan of MS either, but if I'm paying good ... Read More Rating:  - Why is the Download So incompleteAnother reviewer wrote: 2. Poor reproduction of graphics. In some cases, it's difficult to see what the authors are trying to represent. Several errors in Chapter 3 ("Blogger: Rollovers and Design Improvements") make the examples very confusing. The book's editing left much to be desired--I found quite a few errors throughout the boo I agree completely and WHY WEREN'T THE GRAPHICS INCLUDED IN THE COD E DOWNLOAD? That should have taken no additional effort and made everything ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
