Transcending CSS

September 11th, 2007 by Koen

I read the book Transcending CSS and I am very impressed. It is not a book, like so many, that goes into all the details of CSS. Instead it is about design and creating beautiful things. And it also states that a web designer should look at the future (CSS3 for instance) instead of accepting the shortcomings of the (still) most popular browser.

I learned a lot from this book. In particular I learned how to build a web page from the content out: first write the content and then do the styling. I did some exercises to apply that way of working and the results are astonishing.

I recommend this book to everybody who likes to improve his/her web design skills.
