Customer reviews “As a backend coder I never really took the time to get to know CSS. I started this book in the morning and next thing I looked up and I had spent the day working through every example. It's an easy read and great learning tool. It answered a lot of questions for me.” “Let me put it this way. I just built a very "gravy" looking website just after reading a few chapters of this "stew css menu". And for numbers, the real value isn't on the provided scale rating...” “A great example led reference for practical and effective use of CSS.”
