self taught man - i find everything seems to be out of date too

w3c is good but dosnt cover the more dynamic CSS.

Lynda is good but havent been there for awhile

Check out this book O'Reilly has. The missing manual series are great. They also have other great books on CSS.
Actually I think they have great books on more subjects

Good luck !

http://www.alistapart.com/ has some nifty stuff.

Best way to learn is fucking around really. Its easier than it looks. Just a matter of swapping the shitty tables to nice clean divs and control the look of everything through a stylesheet. Once you know how to control a div in as many possible ways, the rest is easy.

thanks for the link

no it's not so simple - not when 25% of surfers still use IE 6 - at least half the CSS layouts I see have CSS elements that are messed up in IE 6. It's the hacks and workarounds that make CSS a bitch - I still don't see what's so wrong with table layouts but I am experimenting with CSS now.

Lynda usually gets you all edumacated, but damn those monotone video tutorial narrators put me to sleep.

Some cool stuff here... http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/
Lot's of good stuff here... http://css.maxdesign.com.au/index.htm
Some decent links here... http://www.mezzoblue.com/zengarden/resources/
alistapart.com is good too.

I suggest getting the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. It has a ton of great features and is quite helpful when working with CSS (the css editor is nice and the Outline tools are especially helpful).

Most importantly, trial and error. Good luck.
