HTML & CSS: The Good Parts

iOS iPhone

By Ben Henick

Published by O'Reilly Media (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596157616)

Cut away the fat to create lean, mean web pages

This book takes you beyond the everyday tips, tricks, and techniques of building webpages with HTML & CSS, into the good parts that can really make a difference in what you do. The underlying theory and design of HTML and CSS make a lot of sense, but there’s a lot of what’s become “standard practice” that you just don’t need. Get past the extraneous stuff and learn how to get the most out of these web tools for everything from layout to typography to color.

—Structure HTML markup to maximize the power of CSS
—Implement complex multicolumn layouts from scratch
—Improve site production values with advanced CSS techniques
—Support formal usability and accessibility requirements with tools built into HTML and CSS
—Avoid the most annoying browser and platform limitations

Previous development experience with HTML and CSS is recommended.
