"A gem with lots of detailed information." —Web Development Foundations "A good book if you want to be a CSS expert." —iProgrammer "A great reference to be able to dip into when looking for info on something particular that’s new in CSS as well as a great way to learn about newer parts of the spec." —Susan Robertson, A List Apart contributor "A great resource for the current state of CSS...very thorough and well written. I’ve got the physical copy sitting in our Dev library at work. I really like that it starts with media queries and responsive web design." —Sam Richard, Co-founder of SassConf "It's been a great resource for pulling together the course I'm teaching now." —Jen Kramer, lynda.com author and Harvard Extension instructor
