Praise for CSS Secrets

This is a new generation of CSS books, for a new generation of CSS.

Nobody is better at making sense of this new CSS, and of providing design principles that help you solve problems with it, than Lea Verouamong the handful of truly amazing coders Ive known.

Lea Verous encyclopaedic mind is one of a kind, but thanks to this generous book, you too can get an insight into what its like to wield CSS to do just about anything you can think of. Even if you think you know CSS inside-out, I guarantee that there are still secrets in this book waiting to be revealed.

Without fail, whenever I read something written by Lea Verou, I manage to learn something new. CSS Secrets is no different. The book is broken down into easy-to-digest chunks filled with lots of juicy bits of knowledge. While some of the book is very forward looking, there is plenty that Ive been able to take away and apply to my own projects right away.

Jonathan Snook

Leas book is fantastic. She bends and contorts CSS to do things Im pretty sure even the spec authors never imagined! You will learn multiple ways of accomplishing each graphic effect by trying out the techniques she walks through in each chapter. Later, in your work, youll find yourself saying, hmm, that thing Lea did will work perfectly here! Before you know it, your site is almost image free because your graphics are all in easy to maintain CSS components. Whats more, her techniques are fun, walking the line between practical and improbable!

Lea Verous CSS Secrets is useful not so much as a collection of CSS tips, but as a textbook on how to solve problems with CSS. Her in-depth explanation of the thought process behind each secret will teach you how to create your own solutions to CSS problems. And dont miss the Introduction, which contains some must-read CSS best practices.

Leas presentations have long been must-see events at web development conferences around the world.

I thought I had a pretty advanced understanding of CSS, then I read Lea Verous book. If you want to take your CSS knowledge to the next level, this is a must-own.

Ryan Seddon

Team Lead, Zendesk

CSS Secrets is by far the most technical book that I have ever read on the topic. Lea has managed to push the boundaries of a language as simple as CSS so far that you will not be able to distinguish this from magic. Definitely not a beginners read; its heavily recommended to anyone thinking they know CSS all too well.

Hugo Giraudel

frontend developer, Edenspiekermann

I often think that CSS can seem a bit like magic: a few rules can transform your web pages from blah to beautiful. In CSS Secrets, Lea takes the magic to a whole new level. She is a master magician of CSS, and we get to explore that magical world along with her. I cant count how many times I said out loud while reading this book, Thats so cool! The only trouble with CSS Secrets is that after reading it, I want to stop everything else Im doing and play with CSS all day.

Elisabeth Robson

cofounder of WickedlySmart.com and coauthor of Head First JavaScript Programming

CSS Secrets is a book that all web developers should have in their library. Using the information it contains youll learn numerous hints and tips to make CSS perform tasks you never thought possible. I was astonished at how often the author came up with simple and elegant lateral thinking solutions to problems that had bugged me for years.

Robin Nixon

web developer, online instructor, and author of several books on CSS

As a master designer and programmer, Lea Verous book is as beautiful and as well thought out as her code. Whether youre fairly new to CSS, or well versed in the intricacies of CSS3, this book has something for everyone.
