First of all about CSS, Before i read this comment i am very tense about this language, And about CSS I am don't know that what is CSS?, because of i need to work with my project with CSS language. But when i watch your comment now its easy to work with CSS. And from now i decided to work with CSS in my project.
Reading some tutorials is the place to start, coupled with trying your own code.
If you make a basic website that is not available to the public, and play with the HTML and CSS and see what the results of your changes (etc) are.
tizag.com
w3schools.com
are also both good sites, both with different style tutorials.

There's no better way to learn something than following simple examples. Look around the web and there are millions of tutorials including those provided by w3schools.com.
Follow their example and you'll be fine. For example, I bookmarked this page on Creating Round corners in CSS - it helps to follow such example and use their code if you find them useful. But always acknowledge original owner of the code.
Read a few tutorials so you understand the syntax, and concepts (like proper ways to use it to handle semantic markup). Then focus on practical use, by looking up whatever scenario you're trying to accomplish.

The "Head First" books are great, although some people are put off by the style. I would not recommend W3 Schools myself - I have found too many errors and stuff that's way out of date. If you can follow tutorials online, the Opera Web Standards Curriculum has recent articles by world-renowned authors. For all levels of readers...

The thing about books is that the information as upon publishing is already out of date. I'm not sure what the fix is about this. As a person pointed out, w3schools.com and other tutorials are also out of date severely because of the browsers and os's upgrading so quickly almost every other six months or so something new will come out. Also, what is in fashion now might not be in a few weeks like javascript was out of date and then it comes in phases like flash with youtube's emergence as well because before it was almost dead. Perhpas I would suggest goign to the source of the creater of css to see what they have. A good resource sited to begin is w3.org for compliance, however, it barely scratches the surface with their puny tutorials. It's confusing isn't it? This is a world where browsers aren't compliant with web standards that themselves are hardly stable enough. So, perhaps learning the framework is best in learning not so much tutorials in books on the current version of css or whatever else you might want to learn. This is something that I would rather do myself rather than dealing with abstracts just get to the skeleton or nervous system of this beast to knock out a full comprehensive learning or like everyone else obviously has done is going the easy fast way of doing it. The choice is yours.
The good news, though, is that all browsers are converging on standards. This is a very different situation than when I began in 2002, when Netscape and Microsoft were on divergent paths.
As for finding up-to-date reference material, I don't think you can do much better than the Sitepoint Reference for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It has just been revised for the most recent crop of browsers.
The basics have not changed much - although bad practices continue as well! I suggest joining discussion groups like CSS-discuss and the Web Standards Group (WSG). They are very good at answering on-topic questions, and I have learned some good practices from their knowledgeable contributors.
You'll find the WSG very interested in matters of accessibility, too.
Cordially, David

I would agree with yuou that some trends are showing more convergence just not nearly up to speed as it aught to be. In fact, there are other signs some for competative reasons like client side or server side with newer additions still diverge greatly. For example, Opera is the best while I.E still slags behind in all areas even beneath the unsound Mozilla that I use. There is still acid tests to test whether or not it will work on all machines without taking into regards to monitors, OS's platforms and othr things. Then, again this is just merely the web not software compiling, which is infinitely harder.
I really recommend O'Reilly's "CSS: The Definitive Guide" by Eric A. Meyer. The O'Reilly handbooks are usually excellent, but that's been one of the most useful handbooks I've ever bought. I had great trouble getting my head round the "box model" that everybody seemed to be saying was the key to mastering CSS, but this book suddenly made it all clear to me.
Actually that is good advice about the "box model" - if you can get the basics of setting dimensions, padding and margins right, you're well on your way. Once you're happy about that, look at the difference between block and inline display, then floats, then absolute and relative positioning.
CSS is a really rewarding area to know.. Good luck!
Google will be your friend, there.There are several books available - your local library may be able to obtain something for you, if you don't want to buy.I find buying a good book is a good investment - it is always available for reference.
CSS : Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a HTML language.
CSS Saves a Lot of Work! CSS defines HOW HTML elements are to be displayed. Styles are normally saved in external .css files. External style sheets enable you to change the appearance and layout of all the pages in a Web site, just by editing one single file!
Very useful for creating a website layout as it helps in decreasing downloading time for a web page in a website.
@cools4u, Everyone knows what CSS means - so there's no need to repeat the meaning here. What the OP is looking for is how to learn it. If you have an idea please share it, otherwise do no post a comment just for the sake of it.
Hey..Megan...absolutely...right....forums give signature to return a little favour to the effort of community member when he helps other member...there is not need to copy paste here....the other guy can find that....
Start-->Search type .Css and just Enter and after searching reasult what files appears just Right Click to them and open to them in with Notepad and read and try to practice your self it will be good for you.
Great book: Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cederholm, second edition published in 2007, getting a little longer in the tooth now, but a great read, still relevant, and good fun, he's got a good way of explaining it.
i know html well but incase of css i am unable to work on it completely i can only able to edit the css files but if i try to write some thing different i am unable to do that
As we know that CSS stand for cascading style sheet, which is used in three ways like
(1)extrenal CSS
(2)Inline CSS
(3)Internal CSS.
and for more information you just visit at "www.w3schools.com".
As per my opinion there are so many tutorial for learning CSS. It will help you more to learn about it. As per my knowledge w3school.org is best out of all. You will get more explanation with good example. In this thread.
Another great resource for learning CSS is http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ they have great articles and are now giving great links to CSS3 articles and HTML5. Their twitter is also a great resource, bitesize information in easy to digest formats. Enjoy.

From your post learning CSS is very fast and easy. I am also using w3school.com for learning CSS language. 80% CSS is learn very easy, if you know the HTML perfectly, and 20% you can get the idea if you know its rules and regulations.
