CSS book of my dreams?
I may have just found the CSS book of my dreams. Before I explain, I’d like to point out that I’ve always been looking for web design and css related books. While I rarely read them from cover to cover, these books provide tips and tidbits that I can always look back on. Plus, having a lot of web design books makes me look like someone that knows what they’re doing.
This miracle book I speak of is one that has recently been released. It’s CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions by
Andy Budd, Simon Collison, Cameron Moll
From the book’s website:
"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."
After reading this sentence I thought to myself, "Wow! This is exactly the way I feel about CSS" So I downloaded the sample chapter on layout and the explanation finally made float layouts clear to me. Perhaps it’s the combination of other sources and this description that finally allowed me to see what’s going on. Anyway, I really like this book so far. That said, I’m going to buy a copy in a few days. Perhpas I’ll actually read this one all the way through.

Thanks Sarah and Chrissie.
I’m going to be changing hosting providers soon (as in I have to pay for it now) which acutally seems to be motivating me more to do something now that I’ll be paying for it :) Expect a re-design in a while. Pyro season is approaching and I’m sure to have some posts.
