CSS3 FOR WEB DESIGNERS by Dan Cederholm


This is another book not in the library system. I thought I'd review it anyway since we're all readers here, no matter where we get our books.

If I were a web designer, instead of someone who dabbles, I'd buy this book. It's a short read, detailing about a half dozen CSS3 tricks that can really make your web design snazzy. That's it, though.

It's a bit of a question how necessary such as a book is. Much of the ideas can be done in Javascript and since Windows Explorer is lagging behind every other browser in supporting CSS3, there's no sense of urgency to utilize the techniques. The coding does seem cleaner, though, and with any luck, support for CSS3 will grow. I know I'm going to try and implement some of this stuff in a couple of personal web projects on which I'm working.
