Stunning CSS3, Feb 20 2011
By Mountain Coder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stunning CSS3: A project-based guide to the latest in CSS (Paperback)
Just the book I've been looking for. Its project based approach with downloadable files from the book's website makes learning easy. It's not a beginners book - you need a reasonable grasp of HTML and basic CSS to put it to good use - but it teaches CSS3 very effectively. So much vital info is packed into it, especially about media queries, embedding fonts and CSS graphic techniques. I also found it a vital reference listing loads of useful links under each topic for exploring the nooks and crannies of CSS3. Finally, with so much interest in Responsive Web Design now that CSS media queries are supported on A class browsers, it will prove an excellent introduction to anyone wanting to build a site that adapts to the multitude of browsing devices flooding the market in 2011 - including iPhones, iPads, netbooks, notebooks and even widescreen desktops. It's the right book at just the right time.

Fantastic and useful, Feb 10 2011
By Squire Man - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stunning CSS3: A project-based guide to the latest in CSS (Paperback)
This book is great,it gives you insights in the new way of coding your pages with css3 new features, along
with great examples through the book.
The book gives you also knowledge of great techniques (usable too in css2) like to make
'image-free' triangles with border property... !!
The book is well written, easy to read, fully colored, full of extra-links of useful references and tools.
Notice: this book is not for beginners (they could read the great O'Reilly CSS Missing Manual first)
and it's supposed that you have a good grasp of CSS coding before starting reading this book.
then this book it's a GREAT WINNER !!!!!
it may deserves 6 stars !!

A great walkthrough to CSS3, Mar 31 2011
By hawkii - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stunning CSS3: A project-based guide to the latest in CSS (Paperback)
I bought this after seeing a recommendation on Twitter. I was interested in learning more about CSS3 with a prior knowledge of CSS. This book is not only a cracking introduction to the new properties introduced with CSS3, but gives you a complete overview of how to use them, with full colour examples. Thorough explanations are provided and - one of the really useful parts of the book that makes it my first CSS reference - multiple web addresses for relevant content online.I'm really glad I bought this book, it's made my life easier and is perfectly pleasant to thumb through for specific info. I'd recommend it to anyone who wanted to know more about CSS3!
