Summary
One of the toughest challenges novice CSS developers face is when their seemingly perfect code doesn't translate into a perfectly-rendered browser page--and with all the different browsers available today, this challenge happens all too often. The CSS Detective Guide teaches real-world troubleshooting skills, helping designers and developers to move past the mysterious problems of CSS and correctly interpret clues to resolve their issues. These aren't pat solutions, but rather creative approaches and solid best practices for how readers should be thinking about and applying CSS. And the fun of playing detective enhances the learning experience.
