Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / July 2007Book review - "Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns"
Reviewed here: http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=49&t=000737 and they seem to like it, with a 9/10 rating. The combination of HTML/ CSS and the Design Patterns movement is certainly an interesting idea that ought to be worthwhile for commercial developers. Or on Amazon: <http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590598040/codesmiths> There's also a companion website, with lots of example code to read http://cssdesignpatterns.com/ Anyone else read it? What do you reckon? Do APress have _the_worst_ covers, or what? 8-) > Reviewed here: > http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=49&t=000737 [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Anyone else read it?

Whereabouts? I saw some mal-formed URLs, but not any actual errors. Given the general state of suckage in the world, I actually thought theirr code was some of the cleaner examples around. Admittedly it ought to be perfect, but I've worked in publishing too long to not be forgiving of the errors that someone else's politics can shove into a once-pristine piece of work. >> Don't know about the book, but the website is XHTML Transitional > > That's not _wrong_, just a little pointless. Agreed, it's just that, to me, for a new site supposedly for professionals to use a Transitional DOCTYPE _seems_ wrong! >> -- and has 6 validation errors! > > Whereabouts? I saw some mal-formed URLs, but not any actual errors. Can only remember the first three, and they were all something to do with invalid entities -- I've just checked the site again and it now validates, so that's probably why you had trouble finding them! > Given the general state of suckage in the world, I actually thought > theirr code was some of the cleaner examples around.
