There are several other books on the market that serve as in-depth technical guides or reference books for CSS. None, however, take a more hands-on approach and use practical examples to teach readers how to solve the problems they face in designing with CSS - until now. Eric Meyer provides a variety of carefully crafted projects that teach how to use CSS and why particular methods were chosen. The web site includes all of the files needed to complete the tutorials in the book. In addition, bonus information is be posted.

Expand your universe
So far I am just dabbling with CSS. This book is great for taking you from ground zero to something svelte. The lesson format is like having a personal tutor. I will eventually get around to something practical. In the meantime, I am expanding my universe.
So far I find this to be midlevel coding. The real problem with top-level is that you have to know the idea want you are doing and a lot of superfluous overhead is added to the commands; it is good for a quickie but can later paint you into a corner. A low level will give you a tighter code and more control over results. Midlevel is a compromise but sometimes adds functionality that can not be reached at the lover level command line coding.
Every language has its strengths and purpose they just do not invent more complexity for the fun of it. I hope to have the mechanics down before I find out what it is.
CSS may come and go but it is necessary to be aware of it in case you need to correct someone else’s code. For me, this is the right book at the right time. What time is it for you?

Eric Meyer is one of my personal Web Developer heroes, and this book is proof of why. Even if it was published in the starting era of CSS this book still offers some interesting perspectives and insights and also sheds some light of how it was to be working as a web developer in the cradle of the web developer era during the dot-com bubble. And it highlights how a person could work professionally as a dedicated CSS professional when today it feels like it's hard to find a similar position (at least in Sweden) because CSS feels almost expected and assumed that everybody in the business knows it and can do it. Eric Meyer in this book opened my eyes to the various levels one can write CSS code. As with many other areas in life, there is the novice level, but there is also a higher expert level which can be quite a bit more than just the basic levels.

This is an excellent book for progressing from using style sheets for specifying only fonts and colors to building entire sites driven by CSS layout rendering--it is not a reference book. The author (who, incidentally led the W3C effort to define the CSS2 Recommendation) presents thirteen different real-world types of projects to teach and explain the power of CSS, ranging from conversion of existing pages and creation of menuing systems, to multicolumn layout. A short book that will make big changes in the way you build web sites.

These are classics in the field, of course...
Now, I'm glancing through them again to refresh after two years off.
