What our customer's say!

"Excellent resource!", I recommend this book to others frequently. The tutorials are easy to follow and cover a lot of everyday situations. Should be used in classrooms...

"Even a experienced Web Designer can learn some thing new...", I highly recommend this book, regardless of how much experience you have, most readers will pickup a few new techniques after reading the book. Many of the concepts will help a web designer make lighter websites and better css styles. The book is a quick read for most people, and the advice is very practical.

"Great book", Excellent book, brings up a lot of good accessibility and best practice points. This will make me a better web developer.

"Useful techniques for everyday development", Dan Cederholm runs down a list of tips and tricks where he teaches us how to protect our design in worst case scenarios, it's definitely not an entry level book and a great source of techniques. Recommended reading.

"A good book but...", Some useful tips on creating good semantic markup. However, the author tends to build his case for this markup by citing tables on a lot of examples and the arguments to switch to a DIV structure. In some ways, I found this amusing as most of us know the benefits of table-less designs. The book reads more like a story telling similar to many technical analysis stock chart books I read based on past hindsight that no longer is relevant.

I bought this primarily to read about the indestructible box example. But I have to say after reading this that the markup is too narrow in scope. Not every box is going to have a DIV followed by an heading tag to create the rounded corners. Not only that but it was a fixed width example too so how can this be "bullet proof". Rather, the author should have come up with a generic solution so that the box can be sized width wise and lengthwise. Many people use a CMS and the markup to create a box is different.

All in all though its a good book to follow along to see how one goes about doing actual design in CSS. There's very few books out there like this that teach design while taking a hands on approach.

"Firefox users only need to apply", After building enough sites from scratch, and wanting to make darn sure they were browser friendly and accessible, I got this book due to it addressing cross-browser problems and techniques for accessibility.

Now the practical knowledge in this book is great. It's the no-hold-bars dirty hacking of CSS/XHTML to force it to work in browsers, and address how to get sites to be more accessible (like addressing text sizing that scales accordingly in IE 7 and FF, and to look similar in each browser). Added benefit it even shows you how to tweak the Blogger Tic-Tac template, to be even better -- for beginning bloggers, this is very sweet.

But, I learned that this book is geared to the 10% of the web browser market (Firefox), which meant code examples to experiment with weren't friendly to IE 7. Worse, the code explanations were quite elementary -- dictation/narrative style -- which didn't give me enough info to know WHAT I was doing. Efforts to tweak examples (like in Chapter 4) required over an hour trying to get the floats to not break, if I resized them -- all because the explanations were so scant to know what variables to tweak.

Really wanted to like this book, as it's tailored for two main headaches in web design (cross-browser friendliness; accessibility tweaking) that's not often covered in other CSS/(X)HTML books. Alas, the search is on for a CSS/XHTML book that is truly cross-browser friendly. :/

"One of the best CSS books out there", I am very skeptical about the value of IT related books. Having been in the industry for 17 years I have read very few that deliver what I am looking for and instead have tended to rely upon articles from disparate sources across the web.

There are of course exceptions - and this book is a shining example of how to make a subject understandable for many levels of experience AND be of value to all.

If you are interested in making your site CSS friendly, want to unravel what all the various things mean, or have a working knowledge of CSS and want to go beyond what most average developers know about CSS then I would strongly recommend buying this book. It won't solve world hunger, but it will solve many of your CSS questions and designs.

"written in a voice anyone can understand, filled with techniques pros use", The second edition of Bulletproof Web Design is as good as the first, but keeps it current with IE7 and the ever-changing techniques CSS professionals use. The book is written in a voice anyone can understand, and is filled with techniques pros use. The lessons don't go that deep, but there is little here that anyone who writes CSS for a living will disagree with. I was surprised that he still talked about adding hacks to your CSS to feed special values to different versions of IE, but in the last chapter 'Putting It All Together' he used external hack sheets for different versions of IE brought in with IE conditional comments, so all was forgiven. I would recommend this book to anyone who desires to improve the way that they write CSS.

"Helpful", This book is great. Sets you up with examples of web sites that real world major companies have created, and will walk you through a better way to do specific parts of the site.

"Mind experiment", A good tech book is one I can take with me on the train, read it, gain something, and then try out the technique once I get to the office. In other words, it lets me perform experiments in my mind and then try them for real later. Too many tech books fail to logically walk me through a process and instead either (a) rely too heavily on complex examples that must be done on a computer or (b) regurgitate existing documentation.

_Bulletproof Web Design_ avoids both traps, instead making a case for accessible design and then explaining - in easy-to-understand chunks - how to do it.

To put it another way, very few books in this genre succeed in changing the way I approach something. This one does.
