Christo Posts: 19 From: Johannesburg, Guateng, South Africa Status: offline	CSS Books - 8/5/2003 6:11:40 Hi, I am putting my toe into the water....Can anyone recommend worthwhile books on CSS for this newbie? I have invested in Style Studio 3.0 from a software point of view. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks Christo.

I' m looking for an introductory ' how-to' style book and a reference book, preferably both covering css1 & css2. I notice O' Reilly publish a pocket guide and also a more comprehensive guide but the online reviews on Amazon etc don' t tell me much. Has anybody used these? I find O' Reilly' s HTML pocket reference to be invaluable. _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington.

The best source of all is w3c itself. Myself I think your most effective use of resources, especially time, is to get the pocket reference and anything that' s not clear there, ask about here or do a google search.

(ordered Thursday 11:30pm arrived Monday 8:30am). Had a brief skip through it and it looks ideal for a beginner like me - easy to use, very comprehensive and handy pocket size. Well worth the �5.56 cost IMO. Peter _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't.

gorilla Posts: 2974 From: Denmark Status: offline	RE: CSS Books - 8/12/2003 16:06:07 If you're willing to splash out a bit the O'Reilly web design CD bookshelf is a wonderful resource. quote: Six best selling O'Reilly Animal Guides are now available on CD-ROM, easily accessible and searchable with your favorite web browser: HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide 4th Edition; ActionScript: The Definitive Guide; Information Architecture for the World Wide Web; Designing Web Audio: RealAudio, MP3, Flash, and Beatnik;Web Design In a Nutshell, 2nd Edition; and Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide. As a bonus, you also get the new paperback version of Web Design in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webcdbk/ Best bargain around IMO August 12th 2003 _____________________________ Mh�ircaish Signature self-censored to protect the sensibilities of the thin-skinned .

A really great place to shop for computer books is bookpool.com Also, I sometimes get a price there and then go to pricegrabbers.com Some of the places in pricegrabbers will ship without charging shipping costs. Also at pricegrabbers if Amazon has it cheaper it will list it in there. Good luck. _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

Christo Posts: 19 From: Johannesburg, Guateng, South Africa Status: offline	RE: CSS Books - 8/13/2003 8:48:17 Hi, Good idea - thanks. Doubt whether they will ship free of charge halfway round the world to sunny South Africa. However, I really need the reading material fairly quickly - guess it will cost a pretty penny to get it here. So much for trying to make a living! (in reply to c1sissy)

If you're trying to make a living and starting off go for the bookshelf cd mentioned above. It'll be some of the best money you ever spent. Get the pocket guide later if money's tight. But get the bookshelf now. There's a wealth of good stuff there. _____________________________ Mh�ircaish Signature self-censored to protect the sensibilities of the thin-skinned .

I think I just might eventually order this one, it does look really great, and thanks to Gorilla for showing this to you. Below is the link to the page that the book is listed on. http://www.bookpool.com/.x/eomajxzjw0/sm/0596002718 _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.
