Hi, as a complete beginner to CSS im looking for ebook recommendations, i understand theres a few out there and im looking for ones you have read and would recommend yourself.
to be honest, none of them I'd head over to SitePoint and get an actual book if I were you. Depending on how good you are with HTML, I'd suggest either Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS by Ian Lloyd (if you're new to authoring semantic HTML) or The CSS Anthology, 2nd Edition by Rachel Andrews. If you're dead set on an eBook, both these titles are available as PDF files (I should know, I have them). And no, I'm not recommending these books because I'm a moderator on their forums; I'm recommending them because they're that good.
There's also a lot of information just on the web. I have bought many books and tried reading a few e-books, but none of them are really as helpful as just learning tutorials online and practicing with the code hands-on. If you are having trouble, try Googling "CSS tutorials" or "learn basic CSS", something along those lines. I'm sure there's plenty out there.
The problem with online tutorials (and many books just to be fair) is that they don't teach the best practices, and the code they include can often cause usability and even accessibility issues, some of which are quite severe.
Thanks Ascendancy il look for a few tutorials, im even reading at http://w3schools.com/ im a complete beginner with CSS so i guess it makes sense to read whats there too. I was reading reviews of a few CSS books last night and some were pointed out as having mistakes in them that would completely confuse a beginner and frustrate an experienced person.
Well, as I said, the two I suggested should be enough to get you started - and while I may not agree with how the code is written in some places (just differences in style), it is enough to work with.
