Many Web designers are reluctant to embrace the new technologies such as CSS3 or HTML5 because of the lack of full cross-browser support for these technologies. Many designers are complaining how this situation is holding them back and tying their hands.
But the day of full cross-browser support is never truly going to dawn and deliver us this wonderful new Web where our work looks the same with any Web browser. Some users will still use older browsers and some users will still have browsers with deactivated JavaScript or images. Sometimes it feels that we are hiding behind the lack of cross-browser compatibility to avoid learning new techniques that would actually dramatically improve our workflow.

This eBook contains 15 articles that cover useful techniques, tricks and guidelines from experts on topics such as modern CSS layouts, responsive Web design, CSS typography, CSS cross-browser compatibility, as well as many other advanced CSS techniques.
