Review: Great Reference Book - Comprehensive in Scope - This 4th Edition of Eric Meyer & Estelle Weyl’s CSS book is very thorough and comprehensive. At over 1,000 pages, every topic that I wanted to study is included. I’m planning on using this new CSS book as a reference book so being able to locate specific topics fairly quickly is important. The Table of Contents is laid out in a very detailed format along with the page numbers. To find something, you can easily just look at the Table of Contents and then flip to the page. Also the book has a comprehensive Index that lists pretty much everything you’ll be looking for right there. As a test, I looked in the Index for some random topics and found all of them listed in the Index with the page numbers. The book includes 3 Appendixes. Appendix A – Animatable Properties The properties included here are the properties given in the CSS Transitions specification and are CSS2.1. Appendix B – Basic Property Reference Properties are listed by name and are in alphabetical order. Example, picked at random: Property word-break Default value normal Value syntax normal |break-all|keep-all Inh Y Anim Y Appendix C – Color Equivalence Table This table lists the Color Name, RGB decimal, RGB percentage, HSL and Hexadecimal for about 4 pages worth of colors. You can look up colors by name and it serves as a quick reference for finding a color code to type in your style sheet. Example, picked at random: Color Name lightgray RGB decimal rgb(211,211,211) RGB percentage rgb(82.7%,82.7%,82.7%) HSL hsl(0,0,82.7%) Hexadecimal #D3D3D3 The content included in this book makes it clear the authors are experienced web developers. I’m going to look through my other CSS books and discard some in favor of this new one.
Review: Curl it and build arm muscles. Read it and build brain muscles! - This is THE must-own CSS book. At over 1000 pages, it’s not exactly enjoyable bathtub reading, but is anything truly enjoyable these days anyway? Yep! This book! It covers everything about CSS you can imagine, including full coverage of CSS Grid, which is going to change everything. O’Reilly also sells individual sections of this book as mini books and I purchased most of those months ago. Those are EXCELLENT for bath reading, btw. I’ve been wanting to take this book to the office to show my coworkers, but I’m worried I may end up too sweaty by the time I carry it up 5 flights of stairs. It is that impressive! When it arrived at my house, my wife literally exclaimed, “WTF is that giant book?!” and now the chair I placed it on has a permanent dent in the cushion. So far, I’m like 4 chapters in (yes, I’m reading it cover-to-cover like a Nicholas Spark book) and I already feel like I’ve learned so many new things about selectors, specificity, and the cascade that I didn’t know before and I’ve been writing CSS forever. You can literally just open this book to any page and learn something new. I wish I could own this with a hard cover. I also wish I could shake Mr. Meyer’s and Ms. Weyl’s hands and thank them while also acknowledging the worn-down nubs that used to be their typing fingers. Buy this physical book! You will not regret it. Pro tip: buy some post-it flags while you’re at it because you are going to want to bookmark the heck out of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You just thougt you knew CSS!
*by G***. on March 12, 2018*

I have been working with CSS since it first came out and have worked to improve my knowledge with each new level as it was introduced. But, after getting just barely started in this book, I found a whole bunch I did not know about CSS 2.1 and CSS 3. If you only want one definitive guide to help you develop CSS skills, this is certainly it. . Eric Meyer is always a pleasure to read. He writes in a manor that is easy to read, and his high level of knowledge of a subject shines throughout this book. It IS a long read, and many parts you may have to read 2 or 3 times to absorb the content. I am only about 1/2 way through, but have already incorporated much of what I have learned so far to greatly improve readability and other issues on the web sites I manage. Recommend this highly for any developers ready to go the next step. Makes no difference the scripting language you use, we all need better CSS skills.
