With real-world examples and a focus on the principles of good design, it extends your CSS skills, helping you transform ordinary markup into stunning, richly-styled web pages.

–Stylize text with fully customizable outlines, drop shadows, and other effects
–Create, position, and resize background images on the fly
– Spice up static web pages with event-driven transitions and animations
–Apply 2D and 3D transformations to text and images
–Use linear and radial gradients to create smooth color transitions
–Tailor a website's appearance to smartphones and other devices
A companion website includes up-to-date browser compatibility charts and live CSS3 examples for you to explore.
