Book: The Greatest CSS Tricks Vol. I

It's somewhat ironic that a website called "CSS-Tricks," running for over a decade, hasn't had its own book until now. I've authored books on WordPress and SVG, but surprisingly, never a dedicated CSS book!

That changes today. I've compiled "The Greatest CSS Tricks Vol. I," a collection designed to live up to the site's name. Think of it as a CSS coffee-table book, each chapter focusing on a single, exceptionally clever and practical CSS technique I've encountered over the years. It's a curated selection of the best CSS tricks I've discovered.

I use the term "book" loosely. It's not yet formatted as an eBook, nor have I considered printing it (though a "full book" URL is available for printing or creating a PDF). Currently, it exists as a collection of linked blog posts. And "Volume I" implies more to come!

Some chapters cover well-known concepts, but many are based on ideas from specific individuals, whom I always strive to credit appropriately.

The current chapter lineup includes:

1. Pin Scrolling to Bottom
2. Scroll Animation
3. Yellow Flash
4. Shape Morphing
5. Flexible Grids
6. Border Triangles
7. Scroll Indicator
8. Boxy Buttons
9. Self-Drawing Shapes
10. Perfect Font Fallbacks
11. Scroll Shadows
12. Editable Style Blocks
13. Draggable Elements
14. Hard Stop Gradients
15. Squigglevision

This list is subject to change; I may add more chapters, rearrange the order, and refine the content. While editing is still needed, the core value is already present.

The Value Proposition: Beyond the immediate gratification of learning new CSS tricks, this collection offers deeper understanding. Each trick reveals a new facet of CSS, enhancing your intuition and making you more comfortable with its capabilities. It's like training with weights: the effort makes future coding feel easier. These tricks act as mental weights, making less-complex CSS tasks feel effortless in comparison.
