my pie in the sky wishlist at powells. really though, i can get more book elsewhere for cheaper so i'm all about the gift certificates! ;)
i'm not interested in making any money off of any of this, i just wanted to be able to post the book cover pictures because that's prettier and more interesting.
theoretically, i would get a comission off of any purchases through this site, but a) i'm not expecting a dime, and b) if i do get a dime, it'll go to a charity. which? not sure. if you have any ideas/inclinations, please tell me.
also, check out the following sites for (usually) cheaper prices: bookfinder.com, alibris.com, overstock.com, & bookcloseouts.com.
this book is skinny but packed- and the best part is the very simple and thorough explanation of css (cascading style sheets) – the whys, hows, and wheres (to find more info as well as examples). i’ve used css for a while, both on this site, at work, and for school, but it’s been largely guesswork, not understanding why the font size should be 12px/18px, etc. now i get it a bit better.
although most of this stuff is online – i’m old-fashioned when it comes to really truly learning. i can learn online o.k. but i just learn so much better and faster with paper.
this book was logical, thorough, and politically my way: open source all the way, baby! i loved this book and really can’t wait to read more of carrie bickner’s work.
[note: ah, i’d been wanting to get this books for months it felt like! as soon as i finished it, i ordered Eric Meyer On CSS and Zeldman’s Designing With Web Standards. i just can’t wait any longer to learn about css. ]
