Spare but fun.......2007-09-23

I love Jim's Journal for its simplicity and modesty and honesty. The drawings are spare and iconic and portrays the everyday life of an ordinary guy in a very moving way.

Jim's Journal is Great!.......2000-03-24

I picked this book up years ago and have bought every one since! This used to run in my college newspaper and I loved it immediately. This type of humor isn't for everyone: few people I meet can grasp it. My brothers and I have used this type of humor our whole lives when we make fun of stuff or act funny. You have to understand "anti-humor" to see why Jim's Journal is so good. Precisely because it is about nothing is why it is so funny. If you do something the opposite from what is expected, that is anti-humor. Such as a 4-panel comic strip with no punchlines or good drawings: Because it is unlike any strip before or since, it is funny. I love Jim's attitude, it is exactly like my own. I'd publish my stuff, but it is so much like his that now I can't!

Simply the Best.......1999-08-25

Five sequels of Jim's journal are the best comic strips in the world. It is talking about the beauty, sorrow and fun of the moments we mostly just ignore. It was one of my best luck in my life that I ran across these great works. But I found that some people don't felt what I felt about them. Strangely it was almost impossible to let those people know what's good about Jim's Journal.

READ THIS BOOK.......1999-07-08

I read this book and it was okay. Actually, it was amazing. No one has ever captured the general listlessness of the college experience nearly this well. An incredibly droll commentary on our very average lives...

It sums up college life........1999-05-02

The title alone pretty much speaks to people who are in college are were. It's quite funny, because you have either had those experiences or someone you know did. It is a type of comedy that takes a little getting used to such as Dilbert. But Overall I think is was a good comic strip. A definite look at least.

Planning a Doonesbury wedding........1997-08-13

Doonesbury characters Joannie Caucus and Rick Redfern tackle such obstacles as should they move their wedding date to accommodate Prince Charles and Lady Diana and is it proper to send errata sheets with the invitations?

This book could be an amusing comfort to anyone you know who's going mad trying to plan their own wedding.

Book Description

HTML Utopia: Designing Without Tables Using CSS, 2nd Edition is for web developers looking to create websites using Cascading Style Sheets for layout, which allow for faster page downloads, easier maintenance, faster website redesigns, and better search engine optimization.

HTML Utopia covers all aspects of using Cascading Style Sheets in Web Development, and is a must-read for Web Developers designing new sites or upgrading existing ones to use CSS layouts.

This book includes one of the most comprehensive CSS2 references on the market. Jeffrey Zeldman, web design guru and co-founder of the Web Standards Project, says "After reading this book, you will not only understand how to use CSS to emulate old-school, table-driven web layouts, you will be creating websites that would be impossible to design using traditional methods".

The second edition of this popular book includes brand new coverage of Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 1.1, new CSS Solutions, and greatly expanded coverage of popular, cross-browser, CSS layout techniques.

Customer Reviews:

Useless as a Reference.......2007-09-01

I purchased this book hoping to use it as a reference to solve various CSS issues that crop. Unfortunately the various chapters don't show how to actually use any of the knowledge its supposed to impart. For example, it'll show an example, and then display various extra code that it says should be "added" to the page. Added where? At the top? Bottom? Inserted inside a DIV tag? Which one?

I can understand a book not having any concrete examples if its going to concentrate on the subject at a conceptual level, but it doesn't explain the concepts either. For example, in the section on positioning it doesn't say more than "absolute" means absolute, and "relative" means relative. That's nice, but doesn't leave me understanding any more how to actually design a page than I did before reading the chapter.

easy to read.......2007-07-18

This book is easy to read. I am using it pretty much as a reference book. I do wish it would have been a bit bigger of a book with more indepth examples but thats why they have website.

Great Beginner CSS Book.......2007-06-15

Web design has always been a hobby for me, so I spent a good part of my life in the dark about style sheets. They've really only surfaced as an essential skill in the past few years, and even today a large amount of sites don't utilize them. This book is an excellent introduction to CSS. It is written clearly, without superfluous language, and is accessible to beginners. After reading it, you will have a very good understanding of CSS and you will be able to build your own webpage using current web standards.

The book begins with a basic overview of CSS - it breaks down the syntax, talks about what CSS can do, and tells you why it is a better choice for design than standard HTML tables (CSS is faster and easier to maintain, and the book tells you why).

The next section is a case study. The authors walk you through the creation of a CSS-only page (no tables!), and it's pure magic for someone who's never used CSS before to see how everything comes together. A second case study follows, and the 2nd edition also includes a new case study on how to build a 3 column layout with a footer.

The book is over 500 pages long, but a good 40% of it is an appendix that lists every single CSS declaration and describes their proper syntaxes and when and how to use them. The appendix alone makes the book worth buying as a valuable reference.

A must buy for the beginning CSS developer.

MUCH Better books available.......2007-05-17

Most other books on CSS talk about styling tables. I found this book (for a newbie with CSS) pointless and confusing. Don't bother with it. Other books by O'Reilly can teach one enough about theory to make this book superfluous at best.

A broad introduction to CSS for new users.......2007-05-01

In a sea of books on CSS, this one stands out because of its title, which promises to reveal CSS's great layout powers. Unfortunately, that's as much marketing as truth.

The first third of the book is a very elementary primer on CSS which can be found in all other books and all over the web. The last third of the book is comprised entirely of appendixes, primarily dedicated to describing every CSS property available, and again is widely-available information.

The middle 150 pages does focus on layout, but again its information is fairly elementary and widely available. An experienced developer looking for the secrets of making very complex cross-browser layouts in CSS won't find a lot here. And like too many books, all of the information provided is bound up in a single end-to-end layout project, the creation of a fairly simple three-column layout. If looking for information on a certain feature or technique, the reader can't easily just read a few pages for the information. S/he must stumble around trying to understand the current state of development of this single project before s/he can glean much on the topic.

So, why am I giving it a 4-star rating? I've read at least a half-dozen books on CSS and this one is by a long shot the best introductory text I've seen. The writing is very clear and focused, the examples are well written and illustrated, the appendixes provide a thorough reference, and the book occasionally nods towards the complexities that cross-browser application of CSS can bring.

It just isn't the advanced Holy Grail of complex layouts that I was hoping it would be.

Perfect book for explaining CSS practically.......2006-03-29

To say that I love this book is an understatement. This was the first book that I'd read on CSS that clicked from the first page all the way through until the last. I have many other CSS books on my shelf, but this one is the one that gets reached for the most.

Excellent for all levels.......2006-03-21

There are many books on CSS out there, and I've investigated quite a few of them in order to gain some proficiency in it.

However there were always pieces of the puzzle that never came together for me. CSS books seemed to lean towards either the technical or design aspects of CSS, without sufficiently showing their connection. For instance, technical books would discuss in varying detail the types of selectors without examining their practical significance, or what all the properties were without exploring their aesthetic ramifications; or, on the other hand, design oriented CSS books would discuss the wondrous ways to use CSS to create beautiful websites, but without exploring on a satisfactory technical level some of the reasons for their decisions.

Mr. Shafer strikes the perfect balance, demonstrating with succinct examples the relationship between technical considerations and design aesthetics. He takes you by the hand from the beginning and leads you step by step so that the reader will develop solid, standardized habits based on theoretical considerations to produce clear, uniform, and aesthetically compelling stylesheets. He teaches you why you're doing things so that you come away with a greater understanding.

This was a book written by an expert with a complete mastery of his topic on both a technical and design level who knows how to teach. Plus it has the added advantage of being written simply and clearly, with relevant examples demonstrating everything discussed. And it's refreshingly no-nonsense, without the painful condescension or groan-inducing style of all too many computer books.

Don't let the title deter you. Though it's ostensibly written for old-style designers to definitively convince them to move from table-based designs to CSS and showing them how to do it (are there any left who remain so unconvinced?), this book would benefit anyone wishing to really gain a mastery of CSS, no matter what level of expertise. The book even includes an appendix containing a comprehensive property reference for CSS2. I cannot recommend this book highly enough for those seeking to understand the relationship between the technical and design aspects of CSS. Well done, Mr. Shafer -- you have written one of the best computer books I've yet encountered! I wish all computer books were written this well.

(On a related note, this is the second book published by Sitepoint that I've purchased, and I applaud their editorial team for publishing such good books. Judging from these two books they seem to have a successful policy in place to write excellent technical books. Their books remove the chaff that turn so many computer books into useless tomes; and they treat their readers as possessing intelligence but who lack some specific knowledge which their books seek to fill from the ground up. I've grown weary of the condescending, patronizing, and sometimes even (seemingly deliberate) mystifying tone of most of the other computer book publishers out there, especially O'Reilly, who seem to target their books for some kind of "in-group" (wink wink). In the future when I need a technical computer book I will look first to Sitepoint, then to Sams, then to Peachpit. O'Reilly's Nutshell books are often still the best reference standards; but I will look elsewhere when I need to acquire new computer knowledge.)

(On another note, I wrote the above before reading some of the other comments here about this book. Wow -- what a range of opinion! I, as many other commenters here, have been a computer professional for many years (>25). I think the only conclusion I can reach is of the 'different strokes for different folks' variety. Clearly what works for me does not work for many others. Well, Vive la difference!)

Learning CSS (Beginner or Advanced).......2006-02-24

This book is very easy to read. The author takes a very simple building block approach. A chapter will talk about a group of CSS commands/options and at the end of the chapter, the author shows how these items can be used in a praticle web site.

The book is simple enough for beginners to understand and yet it provides enough details that advanced CSS users could still learn something from this book.

Misleading Title, But Helpful Book.......2006-02-11

I was recommended this book by co-workers and I haven't been sorry. Yes, the book is for beginners, but it's answered some questions and has helped out with browser compatibility - a skill I was lacking. The book does jump around a bit, but I feel that it covers each topic completely over time. It's not a dry read like many technology books. What is most helpful is reading the author's recommendations for best practices.

For the beginner, this is a good book to get a leg up on CSS.

High hopes dashed by brief delivery of title topic.......2005-10-05

I had high hopes for this book. I was ready for something completely dedicated to teaching me everything I needed to know about creating a site without using a single table tag for layout. Although the book does explain how to do this, I was still disappointed. After a brief introduction about CSS (yet again), section two of the book explains how to create layouts without using tables. In all, seventy pages of 500 are centered on this topic. Half the book is a CSS reference. The other sections talk about fonts, colors, etc. Clearly, the book is mis-titled. This remains a good book for someone new to CSS, so they can avoid bad habits from the start.
