About the book

CSS in Depth, Second Edition deep dives into the CSS techniques used by the world’s most skilled web developers. It builds an in-depth understanding of how CSS works the way it does, with a laser focus on essential topics like vertical centering, margin collapsing, and positioning. Inside, you’ll learn how to build and organize a modular CSS codebase so that it’s easy to understand, maintain, and reuse.

This new edition is fully revised to cover the latest additions to the CSS standard, such as cascade layers, logical properties, new color functions, subgrid, and container queries. Bottom line: this book will make you a better web designer and your apps will look fantastic!

The world of CSS is maturing. More and more web developers in the industry are realizing that while they “know” CSS, they don’t know it as deeply as they probably should. In recent years, the language has evolved, so even those developers who were once adept at CSS may find a whole new set of skills to catch up on—I said this when I wrote the first edition, and it’s true all over again now, in the second. This book aims to meet both of these needs: providing a deep mastery of the language and bringing you up to speed on recent developments and new features of CSS.

This book is titled CSS in Depth, but it is also, in strategic places, a book of breadth. Where concepts are difficult or commonly misunderstood, I will explain in detail how they work and why they behave the way they do. In some chapters, I may not exhaust the topic, but I will give you enough knowledge to work effectively with it and point you in the right direction if you wish to further your knowledge. In all, this book will fill in your knowledge gaps and help you understand the world of CSS as a whole. Some of the topics could warrant entire books on their own: animation, typography, even flexbox and grid layout. My goal is to flesh out your knowledge, help you bolster your weak spots, and imbue you with a love for the language.

About the reader
First and foremost, this book is for developers who are tired of fighting with CSS and are ready to really understand how it works. You may be a beginner, or you may have fifteen years of experience. I expect you to have a cursory understanding of HTML, CSS, and—in a few places—jаvascript. As long as you’re familiar with the basic syntax of CSS, you’ll probably be able to follow along with this book, but it’s primarily written for developers who have spent time with CSS, run into walls, and come out frustrated. In the places where I use jаvascript, I have kept it as simple as possible, so, as long as you can follow along with a few short code snippets, you should be in good shape. If instead you’re a designer looking to move into the world of web design, I suspect you too will learn a lot from CSS in Depth—though I haven’t written it with you partiularly in mind. The book may also provide some insight into the perspective of the developers you’ll be working with.
