More proof that good things come in small--and sometimes even the CSS Pocket Reference has been completely revised and updated to reflect the latest Cascading Style Sheet specifications, CSS2 and CSS2.1.An indispensable reference for web designers and developers, this slim little book covers the essential information needed to effectively implement CSS, with an introduction to the key concepts of CSS and a complete alphabetical reference to the CSS2 and CSS 2.1 properties. And since browser incompatibility is the biggest CSS headache for most developers, it also includes an invaluable chart displaying detailed information about CSS support for every style element across all browsers. For anyone who wants to correctly implement CSS, this book condenses all the details in its companion volume, Cascading Style The Definitive Guide , into one easy-to-use cheat-sheet.The CSS Pocket Reference delivers just the CSS details that you need to complete the task at hand. When you're stuck and want an answer quickly, the tiny CSS Pocket Reference is the book you'll want by your keyboard or in your back pocket. (Yes, it really does fit in a back pocket, but it's too useful to stay there long.)
Absolutely indispensable. This travels with me almost everywhere, literally. I may not always have a quarter to call home, but I always have my CSS Pocket Reference.
This is an amazing reference and every web designer should have a copy. Its arranged very well and is easy to tote around. Could have used some kind of visuals for the CSS properties, but it is only pocket size. If you don't have a copy, you should really get one!
Only gave three stars because its just a reference (although it is a must own). Take a star off if you're a visual learner and add one if you like dry programming books.
This book has definitely been invaluable to me in expanding my knowledge of CSS over the years. There seems to always be something new to learn about CSS. In fact I was reading through it pretty well every day on the bus one summer.
Useful as a quick reference guide, I find this handy when searching for known selectors/properties. With the advent of CSS3, this pocket reference (covering CSS2.1) is now a bit dated.
