CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions is your indispensable
guide to cutting-edge CSS development--this book demystifies the secrets
of CSS. While CSS is a relatively simple technology to learn, it is a
difficult one to master. When you first start developing sites using
CSS, you will come across all kinds of infuriating browser bugs and
inconsistencies. It sometimes feels like there are a million and one
different techniques to master, spread across a bewildering array of
websites. The range of possibilities seems endless and makes for a steep
and daunting learning curve.
While most books concentrate on basic skills, this one is different,
assuming that you already know the basics and why you should be using
CSS in your work, and concentrating mainly on advanced techniques. This
new edition covers all of the CSS fundamentals such as the importance of
meaningful markup, how to structure and maintain your code, and how the
CSS layout model really works.
This new edition contains:
- New examples and updated browser support information
- Full coverage of modular CSS and responsive design
- Essential information on CSS typography and layout control
