HTML & CSS - The Good Parts - Short Review
I'm guessing that if you're reading this then you've seen my very basic
website at some point. I learned some HTML and CSS back when Netscape 4
and HTML 3.2 roamed the earth and while some of my very front end gifted
co-workers have bought bits of my knowledge up to date I still don't
understand how to properly lay out a CSS only multicolumn page without
cheating.
I'm not sure if it's because i had vague expectations on what this book would cover or just if I'm not the target market for HTML & CSS The Good Parts but I've read the thing from cover to cover and nothing really stands out to me. All the right words are spoken, content vs style separation is good etc. but none of it feels new to me, the material is not explained in any new way that really gets the message across where other methods have failed and I very nearly gave up on the book half a dozen times. It's not a bad or horribly written book but it's also not one I could pick three best bits out of.
Make sure you have a skim through before you buy. Score 3/10
