I’ve been following Andy’s progress on both his blog, and via some excellent working examples he’s posted online along the way. There is literally half the book just for CSS3, covering (in the form of practical examples of course) the myriad of selectors available. Suffice to say though, this book isn’t just about CSS3 – far from it in fact – but it does make a welcome and refreshing addition to any web developers bookshelf.

It’s forward thinking. That should be enough justification for it’s purchase alone. Too many times do we see on forums of people stating that “I won’t use this awesome piece of CSS3 functionality on my site because IE doesn’t support it yet”. Give me a break please! Andy very clearly explains that we should use today’s standard as the baseline, and (if necessary) “fix” support for old, depreciated browsers. That came from the days of Transcending CSS (which is still a useful reference point for me).

All in all a great read. Oh and for iPad lovers and those who like to save the planet, there are single and spread PDF versions of the book available too.

Expect to see it take shape on here soon. I’m now off to enjoy the rest of my weekend before heading into the office tomorrow.
