Customer Reviews

Firefox is superior to IE...

those that are complaining about IE not being used in this book are nuts. IE sucks... but, if you must use IE and want this book... go here to download new exercise files made for IE users... [...]

A true tutorial about CSS

There are a lot of books about CSS. There are a lot of books pretending to be a tutorial about CSS. In my opinion, this book is one the few recent books about CSS that is worth for a beginner in the field.

CCS Web Design

Contrary to some other reviewers I use most of the time IE7 and book samples and exercises work excellent with this browser. Sometimes I use Firefox and this works ok, but it won't let me revise the code. This is not a fault of book exercises design.From my "own" experience Firefox gives me trouble on JavaScript and Java web pages. But this is only me, and I dont blame either Firefox browser. I only try to be fair to this book. Book lessons walk you steps by steps in the CSS sytle design. They are clear, succint and are excellent methods for developing web page styles. I wish other authors write a detailed book like this in their subject. I really enjoy each new methodology taught here. I am looking forward to get similar book on JavaScript from same author or another from Lynda.com to sharpen my skills on this programming language. CD with lessons and movies is very valuable Thank you for your lessons Joseph

Excellent Tutorial

This book is a real hand-holder, slowly leading you through the world of separating form from content. The author explains how to use CSS to control the appearance and layout of your pages, and why some choices are better than others. If you've felt challenged in your past attempts to learn CSS, this book might just be the breakthrough you've been looking for. As well as the best guide for self-instruction I've seen yet, "CSS Web Site Design Hands-On Training" would make an excellent textbook for anyone teaching CSS.

Worth waiting for!

I found CSS Web Site Design refreshing and full of tips and techniques for using css in web design. It is also an excellent review of basic techniques for experienced web designers. His writing style is personable and easy to follow. His processes for different situations were thought out and very systematic. An excellent beginning book. This would be a fantastic book for a beginning web design class. As an experienced web developer I valued the content. It was an excellent review. What is needed is a few more chapters at the end covering: 1. various browser hacks 2. IE6/7 3. I would have prefered more fixed width sections. 4. a few extended (from scratch projects) similar to his other project based books. Hopefully there will be a volume 2.
