CSS is an art in a very literal sense. Once you know the basic technique a book won't help you as much as seeing examples in the wild and trying to reverse engineer them. To learn the nitty-gritty nuts and bolts of CSS, try reading the CSS-Tricks blog and digging into the documentation on MDN.
Finally, to truly master CSS, learn the art of brevity. Most stylesheets I see are terribly bloated and over specified. Always ask, "Can I do this in fewer declarations? Do I really need all of these constraints? Is there a single style that will work smoothly across all sizes without media queries?"
Learn that, and you won't need a book.
- zygimantasdev 10y agoThanks for the tips! Already had been trying to understand css tricks - but always looking for more relevant information in one place - a book.
