具体描述

This book is your indispensable guide to cutting-edge CSS development--all you need to work your way up to CSS professional.

You'll learn how to:

Plan, organize, and maintain your stylesheets more effectively

Apply the secrets of liquid, elastic, and hybrid layouts

Create flickr™-style image maps, remote rollovers, and other advanced CSS features

Lay out forms using pure CSS

Recognize common browser bugs, and how to fix them

While CSS is a relatively simple technology to learn, it is a difficult one to master. When you first start developing sites using CSS, you will come across all kinds of infuriating browser bugs and inconsistencies. It sometimes feels like there are a million and one different techniques to master, spread across a bewildering array of websites. The range of possibilities seems endless and makes for a steep and daunting learning curve.

By bringing all of the latest tips, tricks, and techniques together in one handy reference, this book demystifies the secrets of CSS and makes the journey to CSS mastery as simple and painless as possible. While most books concentrate on basic skills, this one is different, assuming that you already know the basics and why you should be using CSS in your work, and concentrating mainly on advanced techniques.

It begins with a brief recap of CSS fundamentals such as the importance of meaningful markup, how to structure and maintain your code, and how the CSS layout model really works.

With the basics out of the way, each subsequent chapter details a particular aspect of CSS-based design. Through a series of easy-to-follow tutorials, you will learn practical CSS techniques you can immediately start using in your daily work. Browser inconsistencies are the thorn in most CSS developers' sides, so we have dedicated two whole chapters to CSS hacks, filters, and bug fixing, as well as looking at image replacement; professional link, form, and list styling; pure CSS layouts; and much more.

All of these techniques are then put into practice in two beautifully designed case studies, written by two of the world's best CSS designers, Simon Collison and Cameron Moll.

读后感

最近同时在看CSS Mastery 和Pro CSS Techniques. 两书涉及的内容和深度差不多，比较推荐CSS Mastery. Pro CSS Techniques，不知道是不是有三个作者的原因，感觉各个章节之间的关系比较混乱，有些内容又重复，又有些地方有遗漏。觉得CSS Mastery 就很流畅。

Building on what made the first edition a bestseller, CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions, Second Edition unites the disparate information on CSS-based design spread throughout the internet into one definitive, modern guide. Revised to cover CSS3,...  

说起内容，绝对是没得说。 说起这本书的翻译，看得我想自杀，太痛苦了。什么翻译嘛，有时候，前后不通，强烈怀疑翻译的人是通过google翻译，然后再调整下语序，稍作修改而来的，也怀疑他是不懂css，还是翻译完后没有自己好好地看过一遍。 人民群众赚钱不容易，不能那这种翻译来...  

看了好多人的评价都是死抠翻译术语有问题...我是觉得没有太大问题,我对翻译要求也不高...... 但是重要的是里面介绍了很多效果和方法,你觉得中文看着累,你可以看代码啊,代码不存在翻译问题吧.  

半个月前买了这本书，现在看到第六章 开始看见说翻译不好，差点就不买了 后来狠心买下看到现在，觉得翻译我还是可以接受的 我对翻译的要求也不高哈 不过这本书，肯定不是适合初学者的 而是适合有一定网页设计基础和经验，且对CSS较熟悉的网页设计人员 个人觉得这本书，对网页...
