Praise for CSS Secrets
本书收到的赞誉
This is a new generation of CSS books, for a new generation of CSS. No longer a simple language tied to complicated browser hacks and workarounds, CSS is now a richly powerful and deeply complex ecosystem of over 80 W3C specifications. Nobody is better at making sense of this new CSS, and of providing design principles that help you solve problems with it, than Lea Verou—among the handful of truly amazing coders I've known.
这本书是为新一代 CSS 所写的新一代 CSS 书籍。也许从前的 CSS 只会让你联想到浏览器里的各种小把戏，但如今 CSS 已经成为一门功能强大、具备完整生态、涉及 80 多项 W3C 规范的复杂语言。而在我所知的技术专家中，没人比 Lea Verou 更能领会新一代 CSS 的精髓，没人能像她那样透彻地给出问题解决之道。

Without fail, whenever I read something written by Lea Verou, I manage to learn something new. CSS Secrets is no different. The book is broken down into easy-to-digest chunks filled with lots of juicy bits of knowledge. While some of the book is very forward looking, there is plenty that I’ve been able to take away and apply to my own projects right away.

Lea's book is fantastic. She bends and contorts CSS to do things I'm pretty sure even the spec authors never imagined! You will learn multiple ways of accomplishing each graphic effect by trying out the techniques she walks through in each chapter. Later, in your work, you'll find yourself saying, "hmm, that thing Lea did will work perfectly here!" Before you know it, your site is almost image free because your graphics are all in easy to maintain CSS components. What's more, her techniques are fun, walking the line between practical and improbable!
Lea 的这本书棒极了。她对 CSS 运用已臻化境，她创造的各种神奇效果我敢说即便是规范作者也无法想像！这本书的每个章节都各具特色，呈现了各式各样的技巧，它将教会你用多种思路来达成各式各样的设计效果。不久之后，你在工作中就会不由自主地念念有词：“嗯，这个效果可以用 Lea 的方法来完美实现！” 甚至在不知不觉之中，你的网站都不怎么需要用到图片了，因为你已经把所有图形效果都写成了易于维护的 CSS 组件。最重要的是，她的表达方式生动活泼，注重实效但又不失奇趣！

I thought I had a pretty advanced understanding of CSS, then I read Lea Verou's book. If you want to take your CSS knowledge to the next level, this is a must-own.

CSS Secrets is by far the most technical book that I have ever read on the topic. Lea has managed to push the boundaries of a language as simple as CSS so far that you will not be able to distinguish this from magic. Definitely not a beginner's read; it's heavily recommended to anyone thinking they know CSS all too well.
《{$BOOK_NAME$}》是迄今为止我在这个领域里读到的最具专业性的书籍。或许你曾以为 CSS 这门语言简单无奇，但 Lea 已将它的疆域拓展为如此广袤的一片天地，令人叹为观止、惊为幻术。这本书显然不适合初学者；但我会强烈推荐给每一位自信精通 CSS 的开发者。

I often think that CSS can seem a bit like magic: a few rules can transform your web pages from blah to beautiful. In CSS Secrets, Lea takes the magic to a whole new level. She is a master magician of CSS, and we get to explore that magical world along with her. I can’t count how many times I said out loud while reading this book, “That’s so cool!” The only trouble with CSS Secrets is that after reading it, I want to stop everything else I’m doing and play with CSS all day.
我一直觉得 CSS 就像是一种魔法：寥寥数行的代码就可以让你的网页脱胎换骨、焕然一新。而在《{$BOOK_NAME$}》这本书中，Lea 将这种魔法提升到了一个全新的境界。她就像是一位 CSS 魔法大师，带领我们在这个充满魔力的世界里自由翱翔。在阅读这本书的过程中，我曾无数次地脱口而出——“这简直帅呆了！” 这本书唯一的问题在于，在读完它之后，我已对其它事情兴趣全无，终日沉溺在 CSS 的魔幻之中无法自拔。
