Book Reviews of CSS: The Missing Manual
Book Review: 98% really, really great
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my second book on the topic of web design and the perfect follow up to the first I read, "Build your own web site the right way using HTML & CSS" by Ian Lloyd. I'm not going to write an extensive review, but I do want to express my gratitude and award this book with the rating it deserves.
First, two little complaints (I guess I'm the type whose glass is always half empty hahaha). No, seriously, just telling this because I want this book to become even better than it already is.
Somehow I found the tutorials tedious and uninviting. If the author would reformat them so that you could start a tutorial where the other tutorial left off, then you would have a project in progress which would be much more entertaining to work on.
Also the book doesn't explain the normal use of relative positioning and only a much used side effect of it (i.e. establishing a framework relative to which elements can be positioned). Although the chapter dealing with positioning still is the greatest chapter of the book, I feel the book misrepresents relative positioning a little bit. I got this insight by studying further on the subject.
Having said all this, 98% of the book was really, really great and therefore I'm unconditionally giving it five stars. It just provided me with such a wealth of information in such a pleasant way. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best book on the topic.
