SAMS Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours<\/i> by Kynn Bartlett<\/p>\n
When I decided that it was time to lean CSS, I knew I was going to need a book for reference, so I went looking for one. I found plenty of HTML books with sections on CSS, but I quickly discovered that it wasn’t what I wanted. I already have a reference book for HTML, and what they covered for CSS simply wasn’t enough.<\/p>\n
I eventually found one book, in all the bookstores I visited, and the only reason I found this one, was because Michael was looking at C++ books and said “Hey! Isn’t this what you were looking for?” after I had already spent 40 minutes looking at every single book in the “Web” section at Books-A-Million. As this was the only book I could find, and because I was not patient enough to order one (I wanted to learn NOW, not in a week) this is the book I got.<\/p>\n
Not bad, although I will never understand this whole “in 24 hours” thing. Who on earth takes a whole weekend to learn these things? Not me. I doing things when I have time, and use a book as a reference to look up what I cannot figure out on my own. <\/p>\n
As far as that goes, this works well enough as a reference book. Most of the examples are fairly clear, and I’m able to figure out what is going on from the book, so it worked well. This is not particularly the type of book I prefer for learning things like this, but then beggars can’t be choosers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
