 Logical organization and good pacing March 9, 2010
M. Caddell (Austin, TX)
I checked out three other CSS books from the library before trying this one. This was the best by far. The progression of topics is logical, and the pacing is good too. The tutorials do a great job of demonstrating the topics, and the logical arrangement makes it easy to go back and refer to code snippets and examples when coding your own site. I also appreciate the attention given to developing good CSS habits. I was once completely baffled and overwhelmed by CSS, but after reading this, I feel that I have a solid understanding of it to build on.
Wonderful! March 4, 2010
Texas High Def (Texas)
This book is absolutely on one of the best tech books I have ever read. It's 100% helpful in learning CSS as well as the fundamentals of web design. I will not hesitate buying any book by David McFarland in the future.
 Very good to Excellent - CSS and HTML February 17, 2010

All the information to get you up and running building your own sites with css and html is laid out in an easy to follow step by step manner. The templates are easy to follow and all the examples are clear and concise. One chapter builds coherently on the template of the previous chapter which leads to a finished usable example.
br /
br /I would suggest learning some html and css before jumping into this manuel. It is not for the total css/html novice. The examples and tutorial are an excellent learning tool but a little experience is necessary to get the full benefit without having to stop and research some of the basic concepts and practices taken for granted as being known.
br /
br /All in all this is one of the best learning tools on the market. The author has a good sense of humor that he interjects at the right moments to keep this manual from reading like a dictionary. It is also one of the most up to date instruction manuals on the market with all the latest and greatest CSS.
br /
br /If you follow the instruction and practice all the projects you will be able to author as fine a web page as there is.

If you want to quickly get up to speed and learn what CSS can do for your skills in designing a complete and functional web site, this is the book to do it. The information contained in "CSS the missing manual" demystifies CSS in a simple yet comprehensive manner. Do both yourself and the folks that will browse your site a favor, get a copy of the book, read it and put its concepts into practice.

Amazing text book, made my professional web authoring much better and much easier to maintain the pages built. Second edition is more useful than the 1st edition and the info is more current. Anyone who wants to use (and they should use) CSS needs to go through this book's tutorials. The tutorials are excellent.
