From
the Author:
My popular HTML and HTML5 Crash Course is available in various versions
and has now been taken by thousands of people, many of whom also asked me about
CSS, and particularly about the new features in CSS3, so here's the result.
Robin Nixon's CSS & CSS3 Crash Course is for absolutely anyone with
any amount of previous experience, because it teaches both CSS and CSS3. If you
already know some CSS you can use the first few chapters as a refresher, or
skim over them. If not they offer a simple, straight-forward and easy-to-follow
introduction. The remaining chapters detail in depth what CSS3 has to offer and
exactly how you can make the best use of its new features to make the most
compelling and dynamic websites.
I believe you will find this one of the easiest-to-understand books on
the subject, and with it you'll very quickly take your web development skills
to the next level
About
the Author
Robin Nixon has been a writer for 30 years, has written in excess of 500
articles for many of the UK's top magazines, and has authored over a dozen
books.
Robin started his writing career in the Cheshire homes for disabled
people, where he was responsible for setting up computer rooms in a number of
residential homes, evaluating and tailoring hardware and software so that
disabled people could use the new technology, and writing supporting
documentation and articles for a selection of national magazines.
After this Robin's career became a hundred percent writing-oriented when
he joined a large magazine publisher, where he held a variety of different
editorial positions, before leaving to become a self-employed writer.
With the dawn of the Internet in the 1990s, Robin branched out into
developing websites (including the world's first licensed Internet radio
station). In order to enable people to continue to surf while listening, Robin
also developed the first known pop-up windows.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s Robin and his family moved to the USA a
couple of times, once to run a web design company in California, and then again
to set up an English Tearoom in Texas. In between times they ran several
successful pubs, bed and breakfasts and nightclubs in England.
In recent years Robin has begun to focus more closely on motivation and
personal improvement in his writing, while still continuing to produce more in
his popular series of books on computing, which have now been translated into
several different languages.
Robin lives on the south-east coast of England (where he writes full
time), along with his five children and wife Julie (a trained nurse and
university lecturer) - between them they also foster three disabled children.

I thought the book did a very good job explaining CSS and providing real
practical examples. It made me feel more than comfortable enough to start
working with CSS.
I'm not clear what the other reviewer is talking about, this book
contained all of the required information to follow along with it, assuming
you're literate.

Solid primer on CSS and some of the new CSS3 rules
By Tomasz Miernik on January

Format: Kindle Edition
Verified Purchase
I disagree on a few points in the early chapters, such as the
acceptability of leaving off trailing semicolons on CSS rules; if you use any
compression or minify of your CSS files, this will result in broken files.
Otherwise, a solid recap of CSS basics, with a very light dusting of 2d and 3d
transforms, font options, and a few other CSS3 features.
