CSS in Easy Steps

By Mike McGrath

Cascading Style Sheets is an essential stylesheet language to designers who want their webpages to stand out among the trillions on the Web. In straightforward language, this book explains CSS. Author Mike McGrath begins with a brief history of Web design and then explains how style sheets determine the presentation of elements within HTML documents, and how CSS makes for a simpler and more streamlined HTML markup. Examples show how CSS rules control the appearance of text, content boxes, lists, tables, backgrounds, and how they can create dynamic effects. This updated edition covers Web 2.0 components and includes useful screenshots illustrating each aspect of CSS.

Great Intro to CSS--Don't judge by ugly cover

I had bought two books on "advanced" CSS, but they left me doubting about how well I knew the basics. _CSS in Easy Steps_ has given me a great grounding the fundamentals of CSS. I really enjoyed the colorful examples--both the color-coded code snippets and their results. I almost didn't buy the book as I thought the cover art looked garish and sloppy. For whatever reason (perhaps it was price) I decided to give the book a try and I wound up being very satisfied with my purchase.
