Bibliography of CSS Sources

I made use of O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf to help prepare this SIG. Below are the books I used:

Undoubtedly the easiest place to get started with creating boxes for your website is to grab one from The Noodle Incident. He has box designs sketched out, you select the one you want and presto, here comes the css. To get started, this place is a must. It's also a good read, so go up the site to grab more goodies. Definitely worth spending time.

Stephen le Hunt no longer supports the HTML Reference Library But it is available near the bottom of this site. This site may go down in time, so you may have to do a Google search on the terms "stephen le hunt" and "html reference library" to find it. It is by far the best reference tool for html and css I have found.

W3C Markup Validator Test your code here. It is much better than the older one because the errors have some real explanations of what's wrong.

Code Examples Simple site. Click on a lesson and see some excellent, short examples and explanations of code snippets.

The Layout Reservoir Steal some of these layouts. They do nice work.

css/edge Erik Meyer's personal site. Great stuff, great beauty and wonderful ideas.

A List Apart Probably the strongest voice in support of css out there. Nearly everyone references something from ALA. Must read.

Brain Jar Detailed analysis of boxes and formatting, plus lots of other stuff.

Glish.comDetailed articles on css. Spend time here.

Web Standards Project (WaSP) Detailed information on css and standards. Don't start here, but you may want to finish here.

Nemesis Project A jillion tutorials. Some excellent, some OK. But most topics are covered.

Web Reference Yet more articles on a whole host of topics related to css. Mostly excellent.

DocType Switching This site will show you how the various browsers will treat your DocType declaration. When you need it, you really need it.
