Wow, Finally a book on CSS where the writer doesnt Bore me to death!, 2010-02-24
This has got to be one of the best computer books I have ever picked up. I have had the thing for less than a day and I already love it. The do's and do not's are very clearly laid out. The book is interesting, very easy to read, the code works and it is very informative. I have been so impressed with the book that I have not even gotten into the dvd yet. I would bet its great also. Even better, is he VERY CLEARLY explains the code, I feel like I really understand why things work. Normally I just copy the code out of the book and hope it works. This book actually breaks down the mechanics of the css, it has also given me some great ideas on how and why I want to lay my website out in a certain way. Its not a huge book, so 30$ may seem pricey, but, trust me its worth every penny. The other 3 CSS books I have on my shelf will probably just stay there!
Thanks for writing such a good book and please keep up the good work!
Excellent Descriptions and Explainations, 2010-02-10
Have you ever tried to read through a technical book and not understood what the author was trying to convey? CSS and Web layout design is full of lots of techniques and hacks for working around various browser compatibility problems (particularly with Microsoft platforms). The author cuts through all of that, explains the major difficulties, and offers excellent solutions. It helps too that the author has a good eye for design. I carry this book around at all times for reference, along with the first book from the author, "Bullet Proof Web Design." Buy it!
I love this book, 2010-01-01
Every page reveals another tip I never thought of or was unaware of. Cederholm has a really easy-to-understand style and the book is laid out in a visual way that makes it easy to follow. I love the ideas I'm getting from this! I got the video edition and the video doesn't follow the book exactly. It covers the same territory, but just a little differently. I recommend this book for any web designer who wants to use web standards compliant and fully accessible code. His tips for organizing your CSS into multiple style sheets is reason enough to buy the book.
Great perspective, 2009-12-15
I consider myself to be very capable when it comes to CSS layouts. I've only been through the first few chapters. While the later chapters to seem to have content that might challenge me (in a good way), the first few have not so much challenged me as much as provided a refreshing step-by-step walk-through of how one might approach the layouts of a few simple modules.
The video portion is an interesting addition by teaching the same content through a screencast-like approach. While I don't think it is a necessary component, I found it to be a nice contrast for when you're tired of just reading through the content.
Great book about web design craftsmanship, 2009-11-28
Dan Cederholm's latest book packs a lot into a quick read. If you're familiar with CSS, you can finish the book in a few hours, yet pick up several helpful techniques and really be inspired by the author's point of view: that websites don't need to look identical in every environment, and that designers should "progressively enrich" their designs with details that can be appreciated in capable browsers. At the same time, websites do need to be robust enough to withstand the unexpected.
Many of the techniques discussed allow the designer to move from extra markup and images to pure CSS solutions for things like rounded corners and alpha transparency. This should make the approach an easier sell to clients (who may want complete consistency across browsers) because it is faster to implement, easier to maintain, and more flexible if changes need to be made in the future.
The weakest chapter, I thought, was the Chapter 6 - The Fluid Grid. The writing is a little overly folksy, for my taste, and with most new browsers using "page zoom" rather than just "text zoom" as a default, I'm just not sure how essential or helpful the presented technique is. However, even this chapter describes an novel approach to sizing a site's grid and major layout sections, which may prove useful or just make you consider grid sizing in a new light.
In sum, this is an excellent addition to your web design library.
