Here is what people are saying about the Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 Programmer's Reference
 "Good quick reference Book" | 2006-12-19 |
| - Reviewed By Stacy Spear from metro Atlanta |
| This book does its stated purpose very well. Not too indepth, not too shallow. Find a property, check it out, and back to work. |

 "A reference for the expert - definitely not a learning tool" | 2006-11-29 |
| - Reviewed By kembreg |
Probably a good reference if you already know CSS.
Not useful if you're learning CSS from scratch. |
| |
| "Compact But Comprehensive /w Easy to Fix Flaws" | 2006-10-01 |
| - Reviewed By Carsten aka Roy/SAC & CirqueDuSoleilGuru from Fresno, CA USA |
You know CSS, but you are not using it every day thus not remember every single attribute and specific syntax for every style there is?
You are like me and you will appreciate this little helper. It is very compact and filled with every CSS 2.0 style there is.
It also shows which properties and styles are compatible with which Browser. It is up to you if you want to use the latest styles available or rather fall back to the styles and properties that virtually every browser in use today can render correctly.
This is a compact reference for CSS and not meant for people who want to learn CSS. It would make a good addition when you buy a book to learn CSS and get this reference for quick look-ups of the already learned styles.
Not as Handy as It Should Be
I liked the Idea of a quick reference for CSS, because I always struggle with remembering the exact syntax (or confuse them with HTML or JS attributes) or can't recall which properties can be applied to which HTML element. I have to problems with this reference, which makes it for me less effective than I wish it to be.
1) This is not and issue with the content, but the page layout. It wouldn't be too hard to print the chapter and the property that can be found on the page at the top of every page to make scanning of the book easier and reduces the need for a detour to the index.
2) It would have been great if there would have been not only a list of attributes sorted alphabetically, but also a list of HTML elements sorted alphabetically with the information for each of them, which CSS attribute can be applied to it. It makes the book thicker, but you could have compensated that by using thinner paper and use less empty line in the content.
I hope that my suggestions might find it into a future, version of the book, which also incorporated the CSS 3.0 attributes that are supported by some of the latest browsers like Mozilla Firefox. |

| "Life Saver" | 2006-06-02 |
| - Reviewed By Kate A. Shorey from Connecticut USA |
By the time I was taking my second or third CSS course, this book became a life saver. Even now, 2 years later, this is the one book I cary around with me for syntax.
Mr. Meyer also adds a lot more flavor and discussion than I would expect from a desk reference. Impressive! |

| "Fantastic reference book" | 2005-03-11 |
| - Reviewed By Game Designer from Champaign, IL USA |
| Developing accessible, standards-based websites that work and look properly on everyone's screen (I'm looking at you, IE) can be a real struggle sometimes, but this book has been a life saver for me. Having the book at my desk and being able to quickly look up this syntax or that modifier is extremely helpful. I can't recommend this book more for anyone who does a lot of web development and is just looking for a quick, to the point reference guide. |

| "CSS is rocket science" | 2004-08-20 |
| - Reviewed By Randall Bourgeois from St. Louis, MO |
The initial chapters of this book are more difficult to understand than the CSS2 standard, and make CSS seem like rocket science.
They assume you have the vocabulary of a member of the team that wrote the CSS2 standard. I know it is difficult sometimes for a writer to imagine himself as a reader of the book, but this book doesn't even try.
Skip the initial chapters and go right to the reference. |
