Preface

Do you remember your first educational toy? One of the first that many children get is the big, chunky puzzlefour to ten easy-to-grip pieces that fit into spaces on a board.

This is one of the first experiences a child has with matching shapes to corresponding spaces, helping them develop their shape recognition skills.

My wife thinks I was never given one of these puzzles. Every time I put the dishes away, the plastic food storage containers stump me. I end up trying to put medium containers into small containers and square containers into round ones. It's as if, in her words, I never got the proper training as a child. I pretend she's just joking, but maybe she's rightI really can't remember.

If you've purchased this little book, in terms of CSS knowledge, you're a lot like an infant with its first shapes puzzle. I hope to teach you as much as possible, as quickly as possible, about the fundamentals of CSS. And I hope later in life you'll look back and be thankful that you took the time to "learn your shapes."

Who Should Read This Book

This book is suitable for beginner level web designers and developers. Some knowledge of HTML is assumed.

Conventions Used

Youll notice that weve used certain typographic and layout styles throughout this book to signify different types of information. Look out for the following items.

Code Samples

Code in this book will be displayed using a fixed-width font, like so:

A Perfect Summer's Day

It was a lovely day for a walk in the park. The birds were singing and the kids were all back at school.

If the code is to be found in the books code archive, the name of the file will appear at the top of the program listing, like this:

example.css
.footer { background-color: #CCC; border-top: 1px solid #333;}

If only part of the file is displayed, this is indicated by the word excerpt :

example.css (excerpt)
border-top: 1px solid #333;

If additional code is to be inserted into an existing example, the new code will be displayed in bold:

function animate() { new_variable = "Hello"; }

Also, where existing code is required for context, rather than repeat all it, a will be displayed:

function animate() { return new_variable; }

Some lines of code are intended to be entered on one line, but weve had to wrap them because of page constraints. A indicates a line break that exists for formatting purposes only, and that should be ignored.
