Summary: Great Book -- Plenty of Info About How to Use CSS Now
Comment: Boy, this thing is big! If you are interested in using CSS on your Web site, this is a really good guide as to what code you can use now with the current browser standards. The info relating to the Mozilla browser (which will become Netscape Navigator 6.0) is handy as well.

The one thing I like about this book over the O'Reilly book on the same subject is that it dives a lot into CSS2, giving me a head's up on features to come. Neat.

Somebody else commented about the lack of info on external style sheets. That's a dumb comment because you can only learn how to write an external style sheet if you know the individual bits of code used. And the book *does* mention how to use external style sheets -- but most of the examples are inline, which is easier to illustrate.

Thumbs up on this book!

Summary: CORE CSS - A Gold Mine for Experienced Developers
Comment: Core Cascading Style Sheets is an outstanding, comprehensive guide to writing style sheets for the experienced Web developer. Its strengths are: a) the detailed descriptions of selectors and declarations and their uses; b) the sorting of styles by CSS1 and CSS2; c) the ability of different browsers on different platforms to render individual selectors and declarations. The "gold mine" in this book is the many tables that map styles to browsers with a rating of how the browsers render them. This book could also be very useful for an entry- to mid-level developer if mentoring by an experienced developer were available. The mentoring would have to guide the less experienced developer through the HTML 4.0/4.01 standard to ensure that the styles and their accompanying HTML would validate. [The book provides HTML examples using some deprecated tags (e.g., , ). Also, there could be some surprises when trying to validate some of the styles. For example, the W3C validator wants some color declarations to be accompanied by a background color - even if it is transparent.]

Summary: Very good reference
Comment: Hi,
I was not (and still am) an expert in computer graphics, but my new project I need to struggle with all the topics concerning color, font, floating pictures etc...
I need a book to begin with, and this is a good starting point, expecially because it does not force you to keep surfing the web for reference.
It gives you a deep coverage of the topic, examples, and for each topic there is a browser compatibily session that helps you to understand where you can use it or not.
