Ask HN: Front end/CSS books

4 points by peaceprayer 12y ago

Hello NH. I'm looking for Frontend / CSS / and-so-on books to master my outdated skills. For example, ages ago i'd suggest Zeldman books or 'The Zen of CSS Design' by Dave Shea, but it seems to me that A LOT changed for now on. Any great books to understand how to do perfect frontend today? Thanks.

HTML & CSS by Jon Duckett is a great resource. Very clear and concise http://www.htmlandcssbook.com/ http://www.htmlandcssbook.com/.
