CSS Book Reviews for Nerds

My book reviews section is different from what you typically see. I only list and review books that are worth reading. All the books reviewed here are sitting on my bookshelves.

COMMENTS ON CSS

I love CSS - it's the best thing to happen to web design since HTML! But I think today (2005) some CSS zealots are going a little nuts with CSS layouts; it has come to the point where they will do anything they can to use CSS for page layout instead of using HTML tables, even if it means using ten thousand CSS hacks to get it to work!

Brittle web design is brittle, whether you use nested tables or CSS hacks.

Note to everyone:

• A table for page layout is not perfect, but sometimes it just makes more sense than using CSS.
• CSS for page layout has some flaws, that is why CSS3 is coming out … sometime.

What about the books that suck?

I come across many stinkers, to be sure. I just spare the authors the criticism and you the time – why talk about a crappy title?
