[…] This book offers a novice to learn CSS development from a professional perspective. When I first read the book - this came directly to mind: how well it was written and subsequently how easy it was to follow.

I am reading this book now and i would call myself a beginner with CSS, i’ve toyed with the basics such as font styling, colors etc but not really placement or the meat and potatoes yet. I find this book very informative and I have learned some great stuff thus far. I am on chapter 4 “text” and i have learned some really cool things so far, can’t wait to read the rest of the book.

Might i recommend reviewing CSS Mastery by Andy Budd, Simon Collison, Cameron Moll. This looks like a more advanced book but i want to make sure before i got ahead and purchase it that its not just another variant of this book. Thanks

I’ve yet to find any real list of ‘JavaScript Heuristics’ related to the use of JavaScript in a site. However, there are methods of implementing JavaScript in ways that improve both the overall user experience as well as general site accessibility, and so I think developing a couple of rules specific to that would be useful. A set of JavaScript heuristics I created for a recent usability review included. Does the site navigation work with JavaScript disabled? Does key site functionality fail when JavaScript is disabled? Does the site use (script based) pop-ups? Does the site use device independent scripts? No doubt there are others that could be included here, but I think it’s a good start… Can you add to this?
