Still Reading Andy Budd's CSS Mastery Book

I'm still reading CSS Mastery. (Finished another chapter today.) Easy to see why everybody raves about it, and why it still sells so well, despite being 2 years old (an eternity in the tech world).

Andy Budd takes you straight to the cool stuff. The concepts he presents are straightforward. Yet the execution is far from intuitive. But Budd excels at presenting examples, which teach as much as (if not more than) the narrative.

So you have this synergistic thing going on between the narrative and example-code he provides .. techniques you'd never think of on your own. And he provides multiple solutions to accomplish each effect (such as rounded corners). So I'm learning lotsa cool stuff.

It's going slower however, than I expected. Cuz I keep breaking to research the graphics techniques he references (but doesn't explain), which involve learning how to use Photoshop. So I'm learning image editing at the same time. But CSS is even cooler than Photoshop. (So I'm always eager to return.)

And as you might've noticed, I've been lagging on site updates .. while focusing on learning CSS. Along these lines (of learning more about technology), I leave you today with a link to an article I found particularly interesting, which discusses The Paradox of Expertise vs Creativity.

For more along these lines, here's a Google search preconfigured for the query » css mastery book andy budd learn cascading style sheets

I wasn't sure about the work I was handing in until I found my assistant FreePaperWriter, because they care about quality, it's an assistant that makes it easy to get good grades from writers.

En realidad, los casinos en línea pueden ser tanto buenos como malos para su cartera. Le recomiendo encarecidamente que visite el casino en línea Ice casino Perú para disfrutar de la mejor experiencia de juego.
