Mike stated elsewhere that this is not a book for rank beginners. He recommended grabbing a good beginners book on XHTML and CSS prior to diving into his. I'll see if I can dig up his exact quote.

Ah, here it is:

Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns can be used in several ways.

It can be used as a "How To" book that shows you how to use these two technologies in ways like no other book.

If you are a beginner and have no experience at all reading CSS code or XHTML code, then I recommend reading a beginners book first. Otherwise, reading computer code might be intimidating. After that you can use my book to take you to the guru level.

Thanks for the quote........

May be in my previous post the word Beginners was a bit misleading....

But here I would like to mention that I have more than 2 years of experience.

I just saw the contents of the book and felt that it has indeed covered a lot of topics.........

May be with this book now I can reach the GURU level.......


Thanks

If you like lots of high-quality examples, you'll love my book.

Also if you want cross-browser compatibility, my book is the best way to get it. I have done all the work of figuring out what works in all the major browsers and what is most natural for XHTML and CSS. The end result are design patterns that work in all major browsers without hacks or tricks.
