I just released an update for one of my books, the CSS Handbook. You can download it from https://flaviocopes.com/access/.

Six years ago, I published the first edition of the CSS Handbook to help developers master the fundamentals of styling for the web. It’s been downloaded tens of thousands of times and helped countless developers understand CSS from the ground up.

But CSS has evolved dramatically since 2019. The old handbook, while still valuable for fundamentals, was starting to show its age, so here’s a new edition.

Here’s a summary of the content of the book:
