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!
Fundamentally, CSS is about declaring rules: Under various conditions, you want certain things to happen. If this class is added to that element, apply these styles. If element X is a child of element Y, apply those styles. The browser then takes these rules, figures out which ones apply where, and uses them to render the page.
When you look at small examples, this process is usually straightforward. But as your stylesheet grows, or the number of pages you apply it to increases, your code can become complex surprisingly quickly. There are often several ways to accomplish the same thing in CSS. Depending on which solution you use, you may get wildly different results when the structure of the HTML changes, or when the styles are applied to different pages. A key part of CSS development comes down to writing rules in such a way that they’re predictable.
