CSS3 Mastery

CSS3 Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions is your indispensable guide to cutting-edge CSS3 development—this book demystifies the secrets of CSS3 and makes the journey to CSS3 mastery as simple and painless as possible.

While CSS3 is a relatively simple technology to learn, it is a difficult one to master. When you first start developing sites using CSS3, you will come across all kinds of infuriating browser bugs and inconsistencies. It sometimes feels like there are a million and one different techniques to master, spread across a bewildering array of websites. The range of possibilities seems endless and makes for a steep and daunting learning curve.

While most books concentrate on basic skills, this one is different, assuming that you already know the basics and why you should be using CSS3 in your work, and concentrating mainly on advanced techniques. This new edition covers all of the CSS3 fundamentals such as the importance of meaningful markup, how to structure and maintain your code, and how the CSS3 layout model really works. With the basics out of the way, the book dives into the more advanced aspects of CSS-based design, such as responsive design, modular CSS, and CSS typography. Through a series of easy-to-follow tutorials, you will learn practical CSS techniques you can immediately start using in your daily work.

This new edition contains:

• New examples and updated browser support information
• Full coverage of modular CSS and responsive design
• Essential information on CSS typography and layout control
