      Review:

      Its authors who have made a few appearances on adobe.tv share with us part of their knowledge about CSS that comes in a book composed of 6 chapters.

      My knowledge about CSS is limited to the basics as working in a team we have people who are responsible for the tough task of CSS layout every day. This is one of the harsh realities of the differences between web browsers that we have all suffered at some point in time.
      In this book we learn about layout designs for both fixed width and liquid layout. Concerning design with elastic or liquid layout the book has 2 chapters that deal with these two layouts in basic form with its application to more sophisticated designs.
      One of the chapters is targeted at the shirkers amongst us or those that are still designing with tables.
      Since a lot of the things that the book deals with are already well-known once you start reading the book, I skipped to the final chapter where you'll find the latest things about building a gallery site with CSS and Spry. Here we find a real tutorial step by step, just like the whole book in itself, on how to create a gallery of images using the technologies mentioned. In the tutorial we use the menu bar to create the navigation of the example site. We also see how to customize the appearance of the menu bar along with its submenus and finally we arrive at building the Spry Sliding Panels and main content area.

      The whole book has some nice points which I enjoyed way beyond the tutorial - on the sides of each page you will find notes and tips that in some cases you'll be familiar with and in others you'll think to yourself "Aha!, so that's how you do it".

      I think a novice or a recently initiated designer in the world of cascading style sheets will find this book a great help along with the step by step tutorials that it offers.

      Perhaps many chapters of this book wouldn't offer any great knowledge to the experts among us but I'm quite sure the book contains a few surprises and might even provoke the odd "Aha!"
