Riassunto

Fully updated to the latest CSS modules, make the journey to CSS mastery as simple and painless as possible. This book dives into advanced aspects of CSS-based design, such as responsive design, modular CSS, and CSS typography. Through a series of easy-to-follow tutorials, you will learn practical CSS techniques you can immediately start using in your daily work.

CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions is your indispensable guide to cutting-edge CSS development—this book demystifies the secrets of CSS. 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.

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. This new edition covers all of the CSS fundamentals such as the importance of meaningful markup, how to structure and maintain your code, and how the CSS layout model really works.

This new edition contains:

• New examples and updated browser support information
• Full coverage of modular CSS and responsive design
• Essential information on CSS typography and layout control

Emil Björklund is the Technical Director at digital design consultancy inUse, where he’s usually busy building websites—or helping clients and co-workers better their craft. Emil created his first HTML page on Geocities in 1997, but got confused by the mess of table tags. Coming back to the web in 2001, he found this magical thing called CSS and has been fascinated by it ever since. For the last decade, Emil has been building websites professionally, hacking on anything from client-side JavaScript to server-side Python, but always with a special place in his heart for good old HTML and CSS. Emil’s writing and advice on CSS has been published in Net Magazine and on CSS Tricks. He also writes about (mostly) web-related stuff on his blog at thatemil.
