It’s not every day that two books currently in my possession are reviewed one after another on the same site. Roger Johansson of 456 Berea Street recently published a short review of The Art and Science of CSS and Simply Javascript, both published by Sitepoint. I purchased a PDF version of the former and have a hardcover of the latter and they’re beautiful books to look at. Anyway, check out the take-away from each review below:

The Art and Science of CSS (Book review)

With that in mind, reading The Art & Science of CSS will teach you how to use CSS to accomplish a number of useful design tasks, so I think it's worth its price unless you already know most of what there is to know about CSS.

Simply Javascript (Book review)

Revisiting the sub-title of this book, I think the audience that will get the most out of it falls somewhere in between the novice and expert levels. To me it seems best suited for designers or developers with a decent knowledge of HTML and CSS and some familiarity with JavaScript. If that describes you, I can recommend Simply JavaScript.
