Description
This book is an eye-opening exposé on CSS as we know it today. You’ll discover a fresh approach to coding Cascading Style Sheets, where old hacks and workarounds are just a distant memory. Learn how to start taking full advantage of the very latest CSS techniques while still catering for older browsers, and discover what’s put the final nail in the HTML table-based layout coffin. CSS was conceived in an age when web-site design was simple; its creators never anticipated the intricacy of designs that it would be asked to deliver today. Clever designers figured out ways to make CSS do what they needed, but by using techniques so convoluted it became unpredictable and difficult to master. CSS just became too hard… The good news is, that’s all about to change, and this book will show you how!

This book is aimed at designers and developers who need to work with CSS layouts, have a desire to stay ahead and keep their CSS knowledge fresh and relevant, and want to explore the future possibilities provided by increasing levels of CSS compatibility in modern browsers. For these web professionals, this book should be required reading.

Reviews
Thomas Bruhin
Since the printed copy of this short and excellent little book served me for years and starts to fall apart, I am glad that the digital version ist still available. Probably one of the best explanations about the 3 layout techniques: floats, absolute positioning and CSS-table model. Waiting for an update with the flex box model ;-)
