Beginning CSS: Cascading Style Sheets for Web Design, 2nd Edition

To hit the shelves of bookstores worldwide June, 2007, is my latest book on Cascading Style Sheets. In this edition I listened to the critics of the 1st edition, and I thought more about what I'd want to learn about in a beginning level CSS book. As a result, I rewrote around 80% of the material. I insisted on the book having color screen shots and syntax colored code (a first for a Wrox book). I presented a resevoir of tips, tricks, and work-arounds for every modern browser. I simplified the examples. I elaborated more on IE6 bugs and headaches. I presented what's new in IE7. I covered Mac browsers. Every modern, popular browser is represented, and the material is approached from a browser-neutral point-of-view.
