review 1: Una raccolta eccezionale e ben organizzata di "istruzioni per l'uso" dei nuovi CSS3, che non si limita all'uso canonico degli attributi, ma spiega anche come usarli e combinarli per ottenere buoni risultati estetici.Le stesse informazioni si trovano ormai ovunque in rete, ma qui sono ben organizzate e ben descritte.Non raggiunge il punteggio pieno perché le prime 100 pagine sono una continua ripetizione del concetto "ignorate i vecchi browser e concentratevi sui nuovi", che dopo un po' diventa pesante.
review 2: Excellent book on designing modern web experiences. Andy comes from a clear perspective that a site doesn't need to look the same in every browser, and indeed we shouldn't even try. His argument is that it's much better to design for the best browsers
... morefirst, using HTML5 and CSS3 in as many ways as make sense for your project, and then provide alternate experiences for less capable browsers.I really like the approach Andy proposes, especially the focus on creating HTML markup that is as semantic as possible and removes so much of the presentational junk info that we generally have to add. This book taught me a lot about microformats as well, which I keep reading about but never get around to implementing (feels good to get that out in the open).In terms of learning what's capable with CSS3, this book goes into way more depth than CSS3 for Web Designers, though both are excellent. less

Practical and modern solutions for Web designers who think IE6 is already dead. A must read.

Good info, although the detective trope wore thin by chapter two.
