Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns

While HTML is the concrete of all web pages and websites, CSS is the spirit. It specifies the aesthetic aspect of all the web pages by design through presentation, conveying the ideas and sensations by visual languages. The first class of all web designers start with CSS.
These are some of the best CSS books out there reviewed indispensable for those who want to be a web designer or / and developer.

Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns is a reference book and a cookbook on how to style web pages using CSS and XHTML. It contains 350 ready–to–use patterns (CSS and XHTML code snippets) you can copy and paste into your code. Each pattern can be combined with other patterns to create an unlimited number of solutions.
Each pattern works reliably in all major browsers without the need for browser hacks.
The book shows how to

Create rounded corners, shadows, gradients, sprites, and transparency
Replace text with images without affecting accessibility
Style text with fonts, highlights, decorations, and shadows

The book’s layout, with a pattern’s example on the left page and its explanation on the right, makes it easy to find a pattern and study it without having to flip between pages. The book is also readable from cover to cover, with topics building carefully upon previous topics.
A software developer can use this book to learn CSS for the first time. A designer familiar with CSS can use this book to master CSS and XHTML. If you are completely new to coding or completely new to CSS and XHTML, you may want to read an introductory book on CSS and XHTML first.
