Book Review: The Book of CSS3 - A Developer's Guide to the Future of Web Design
I recently finished reading The Book of CSS3 - A Developer's Guide to the Future of Web Design by Peter Gasston. The Book of CSS3 uses real-world examples to teach developers the fundamentals of the CSS3 specification, highlighting the latest developments and future features, while paying close attention to current browser implementations. I found this book to be very informative and very useful for creating and styling HTML. Listed below are some of the key sections it covers which I have found useful in my day-to-day front-end development.

Styling Links with CSS3
One of the great things about CSS3 is the ability to remove more styling from the html and put the stying in the css file which results in cleaner html. CSS3 introduces three new selectors that can match strings against an attribute value at the beginning, the end, or anywhere within the value. This allows us to style different href links with icons relating to the type of link.
