If your a new web developer, you’ll be amazed at how logical today’s world of the web can be. Learning CSS tables firsthand in CSS would be dream-like; I envy future students.

But for modern web developers, for the few who truly master the trickery art of CSS design, CSS table is nothing short of amazing. While reading Everything You Know About CSS is Wrong from Sitepoint, you seriously have to buy this book, my jaw dropped. I couldn’t stop reading the basics of CSS tables with a constantly growing excitement to re-code all of my sites in CSS tables.

Really, the next best thing since the invention of ice-cream, or chocolate, or whatever godly desert basis you can think of, tasting CSS tables after having been proclamed CSS guru by your friends is heavenly. I know a lot in CSS. In my short life-span of web developement carreer, nothing has ever been so cool to learn.

To give you a good idea of my history, when I entered college (we call it Cégep here in the province of Québec in Canada, and it’s before University), I knew nothing about HTML and CSS and was learning to do everything via Dreamweaver’s WYSIWYG interface. Well, so long for those wasted hours, at least I know Dreamweaver’s interface by heart. I quickly realized how coding directly was superior. By the half of my first college year, I was coding without a WYSIWYG in all of CSS’s complex floating glory, learning mind-bending tricks I have yet to see in use by anyone else than some elites on other parts of the planet. So no, I haven’t met anyone better than me in CSS in person, yet. I am now in my third year of college.

Keep in mind though that layout is just half of CSS, the other accessibility part being largely ignored and unexciting, it’s always been something I could count on when it comes to showing off CSS skills. You don’t necessarily know what’s the difference between an <i> tag and an <em> tag if you know how to use float CSS.

But enough talk. Download the free chapters of Sitepoint’s book and learn ahead. (I thought about puting the information here directly, but Sitepoint deserves too much credit for publishing that book).
