CSS is increasingly changing the world of web layout. In depth on this development, the book addresses the ambitious beginner and the experienced web programmer. After a basic overview of the meaning and purpose, as well as the pros and cons of CSS, the potential for spreadsheet and accessible web design is brought close to the reader. Using concrete examples, the individual CSS commands and their application are conveyed as well as the knowledge to create cross-browser solutions. So prepared, it is easy to follow the extensive and practical examples. But also planning and usability, thanks to the separation of shape and contents particularly important, are illuminated from an everyday side. A specialist book that reads well and, thanks to its structure, also serves as a good reference book.
