Cascading Style Sheets, Engl. ed.: Designing for the Web [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

If you want to learn how to take greater control of your Web pages with cascading style, you can't go to a more authoritative source than Hakon Wium Lie and Bert Bos, the creators of this versatile tool. They show you step-by-step how to use cascading style sheets to create type displays in ways that were previously available only for traditional print--altering the color, boldness, font, and placement however you choose. The authors use simple examples for demonstrations and also include samples of gorgeous (and amusing) Web typography to show what's possible and to serve as a springboard for your own ideas. The authors present much that will be inspiring even to seasoned Web designers.

Cascading style sheets (CSS) were developed by Lie and Bos for the World Wide Web Consortium to provide authors with the tools to manage the aesthetics of web site design. For now, they are not in wide distribution and only the most recent browsers can make use of them. But those who spend a weekend with this book will recognize their importance and become converts. Those who have to deal with a great deal of information for many sources and make sure it all looks good and consistent will see that CSS is an elegant answer. And this book is the best introduction to the next innovation on the web.
