[Marek Pawlowski]

Naprawdę niezły podręcznik na temat CSS. Znajduje się tutaj wiele kluczowych informacji, które warto poznać na początku. Nie jest to pozycja niezwykła, niemniej jednak jest ona warta zakupu. Jest to zasadniczo pierwsza książka o CSS, jaką przeczytałem, dlatego też trochę trudno ocenić mi jej jakość, porównując ją do czegokolwiek innego. Oprawa graficzna mogłaby być ciut lepsza. No i książka pomimo wielu aktualizacji ma już swoje lata, czego trudno nie zauważyć.

This is a really nice references book about the CSS where we can find a lot of key information that are good to know at the beginning. This is not an amazing piece of work, nevertheless it’s worth to buy. This is the first book about CSS that I have ever read, that’s why it’s quite difficult to compare it to anything else. Its graphic design could be better. And this book (despite actualizations) is quite old and that’s hard not to notice.
