CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions
Posted May 9, 04:58 PM
(filed under CSS)Excellent CSS resource with many basic and advanced concepts discussed. I first heard about this book from Alex who recommends it. Covers all the basics and advanced techniques as well, in particular touching on modern browser compatibility issues in the real world.
What gets me most is how up to date with the newest advanced techniques this one is, including using negative margins to center and more. I love all the diagrams they use—so if you’re a visual person this will really help. They show multiple ways of doing the same things, which rocks because options are good to have.

Written by the guru of CSS Eric Meyer who knows the specs inside and out, this book has excellent examples showing the way CSS should work from floats to text styles. While targeted at CSS1, its essential for the theory and foundation without a doubt.
Like most all O'Reilly "definitive" books, it has fantastic rule by rule syntax reference.
