 Excellent video series
I just finished watching this video series, and I'm pretty impressed. The setup is very professional, and easy to watch. Eric Meyer uses a made-up site, Javaco Tea, for teaching the CSS concepts. And, he goes through every detail, from masthead to footer, explaining how each piece works. He assumes you already know the basics of CSS syntax, and the reasons for using CSS. At the same time, he doesn't skip over things when showing how the page is built. He explains why each value is what it is. I felt his use of selectors was nice and clear, and I liked his example of using negative margins to allow two columns to sit side by side. If you want to get up to speed quickly on how a CSS-based site is put together, I would highly recommend this product.
The only problem I found was he apparently didn't test with IE6 for Windows. The test page works fine on Firefox, but the masthead breaks on IE6. One of the Amazon reviews for the similarly-titled book gives the fix:
In #masthead, an additional rule is needed:
line-height: 1.1;
