Just what I needed.

This is a very good book for getting started learning CSS. I had zero prior experience with CSS and I’m confident this book is a good one for just starting out. Thanks Jamie for a great start using CSS.

Good run down of common CSS properties used. Good material for starting out, though I wouldn’t say it covered the fundamentals - just a quick overview.

Good enough for me who’s relearning CSS after too much backend work over the years and not much frontend or fullstack action.

Feeling loads more confident about using CSS, teaching myself. Good little book that I can also refer back to saving me googling time.

Просто мусор.
Конечно, я сам виноват, читая книгу с названием "за один день". Но мне казалось что конкретная тема и не требует большего.
В книге описаны самые примитивные основы html и css. Иллюстраций крайне мало, что изумительно, учитывая что css это про визуализацию.
И как в прошлом веке, примеры даны мертвые, как тексты, без ссылок на fiddle или чтото подобное.
Окончательно меня убило, что в конце автор пишет, что основную массу иллюстраций поместил в pdf, а при попытке его скачивания безусловно требуется подписаться на его рассылку, без этого скачать невозможно.

As someone who knows basic css I found this book helpful because it pointed out a few things I didn't learn while teaching myself. This book is very clear and easy to understand. I'm not sure if a complete beginner would be able to make sense of it (not because of any fault with the book but simply because it's a book) but if you understand a tiny bit of HTML/CSS I think it's a perfect beginners guide and I would highly recommend starting here.

I read it in kindle format while on a road trip so I can't speak to the helpfulness of the online exercises but I plan to check them out and report back.

Good intro to CSS

This eBook breaks down the components of CSS into manageable chunks, and builds on your knowledge. There are a few grammar issues, but not so many that they distract the reader.

There are also exercises at the end of each chapter, so the student can develop a feel for CSS.

Nicely done!

Probably as good as anything out there to get you up and running with CSS in as short a time as possible.
