Ask HN: Front end/CSS books

4 pointspeaceprayer4 comments

Hello NH. I'm looking for Frontend / CSS / and-so-on books to master my outdated skills.

For example, ages ago i'd suggest Zeldman books or 'The Zen of CSS Design' by Dave Shea, but it seems to me that A LOT changed for now on.

Any great books to understand how to do perfect frontend today? Thanks.

Here's a sampling of some great books in the front-end space. I'd also suggest looking into Tuts+ (http://tutsplus.com/) or Codeschool (https://www.codeschool.com/).

- Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS https://smacss.com/

- HTML5 and CSS3 (2nd edition): Level Up with Today's Web Technologies https://pragprog.com/book/bhh52e/html5-and-css3

- Automate with Grunt: The Build Tool for JavaScript https://pragprog.com/book/bhgrunt/automate-with-grunt

- The Offline Cookbook (recent article, but great stuff) http://jakearchibald.com/2014/offline-cookbook/

thanks a lot, books look nice!

HTML & CSS by Jon Duckett is a great resource. Very clear and concise http://www.htmlandcssbook.com/.

thank you! looks usefull!
