The Zen of CSS Design Author: Dave Shea Molly E. Holzschlag Publisher: New Riders Published: 2005 Pages: 295

The Zen of CSS Design does a good job of explaining CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) Design. The Zen of CSS design is laden with stunning and provocative imagery to wet the web design taste buds off all but the most austere.

The Zen of CSS Design works by taking one HTML page, and then by the use of CSS and imagery (included via CSS) the page is transformed into some exceptional, brilliant and stalwart designs.

The Zen of CSS Design imparts inspiration to the reader, and then explains how the design was created, and the thought processes behind it. This approach ensures that that the Zen of CSS Design allows the reader and designer to find hidden gems of design knowledge as they read the book.
