The Ultimate CSS Reference - Book Review

I just finished reading “The Ultimate CSS reference” by Tommy Olson and Paul O’Brien. As the owner of a web development forum that focuses on CSS, I try to read as many books on CSS as I can. My expectations were very high because I have been reading Tommy Olson’s CSS blog for years and I am a big fan of his. I am happy to report that I was not disappointed; this is a great reference guide for CSS.

As the title suggests, this is indeed a reference guide, with that being said, I still read it cover to cover. The book is very thorough and covers every CSS attribute from CSS 1 to CSS 3. The book is very nicely laid out and the chapters make sense and are well ordered. You can read this book strait through or put it on your shelf and dig it out to look up something specific. I really like how the authors paid close attention to the compatibility issues with the major and even minor browsers, from IE, Firefox, Safari and even Opera.

A problem with this book is that although it was written recently, it is out of date already. The Internet moves so fast that it is almost impossible to stay completely up to date. It would be great for them to come out with an update for this book.

In closing, this book is a must for every web designer, from the newbie just starting out to the most senior designer out there.

From Huge Cathedrals to Powerful Families - Ken Follett Knows it All

The two of the greatest novels produced by Ken Follett have revolved around a cathedral, despite the fact that he himself has somewhat negative opinion about Christianity. He has always been skeptical about the religion, and this is attributed by him to his efforts to be realistic while creating a portrait of the medieval church, while writing both the books – Pillars of the Earth and World without Books.

Realistic Portrayal of Characters and Events

The first book Pillars of the Earth has a hero Prior Philip, who is a very practical Christian who just wants to save people from their problems. He doesn’t promise them a better life in some other world; he tries to make their lives better in this very world. He has the kind of religious nature that Ken Follett himself admires. While writing, he doesn’t want to pretend that everything is hunky dory in the church, he thinks the church may also have its fair share of sinners, and presents the same picture. It means, he also writes about monks and priests who are corrupt and wicked. Ken Follett himself was a brought up Christian but he stopped believing when he was just 16 years old.

His Favourite Character

When asked if he has a favourite character, he mentions Gwenda in World without End. He says she falls for the most attractive boy even though she is not pretty herself, and she never accepts no as an answer. She suffers more than other characters in the book but she is not the one who ever gives up hope. The thing Ken Follett likes most about her character is her grit and determination. Readers often ask him if he would like to rewrite the end of William Hamleigh. He says in the first draft he made William Hamleigh die fairly natural death, but the editor protested saying he did pretty awful things and that he deserved a worse death.

Gruesome Scenes

Several scenes written by him have graphic sexual violence scenes, which are difficult for the readers. But Ken Follett says emotions in the mind have to have a physical resolution. For example, if there is some kind of tension between two men throughout the novel, it’s only natural they will have some physical violence towards the end of the book. The sexual scenes are also physical manifestation of mental attraction between two persons, hence they are also unavoidable. These scenes often appear unpleasant, but they are part of the story and the readers have to go through them to reach the pleasant climax.

The Name Is Bond… James Bond

Ken Follett says James Bond was his favourite character, and there was a time when he wanted to be James Bond himself, though he soon realized it was not possible because he couldn’t be six feet tall or have blue eyes. He did the next best thing which was possible and he could do better, he decided to tell stories.

The Power of Ambition by Jim Rohn

Ambition is the desire to achieve. Without ambition, people can only go so far. Of course there is the desire, but is there a driving force behind the desire? In The Power of Ambition, Jim Rohn provides some quick tips that help to create a solid source of ambition, strong enough to entirely remold an individual’s life.

People who have the drive and desire to achieve usually do. You probably know a few people who always seem to be in action. Every time you talk to them, they are busy doing something. One of the problems with society is that – and Jim Rohn explains in great detail – many have been lead to believe that ambition is a bad thing. A lot of individuals think that those who go after what they want are selfish and are only out for themselves. However, the truth is that if you don’t go out and get what you want, you’ll never accomplish anything that you set out to achieve.

The Power of Ambition by Jim Rohn talks about how without the strong desire to accomplish what you want, the probability of ending up living in poverty is extremely high. This book also talks about why life reserves it’s treasures for those who deserve them instead of those who need them. When you put in the hard work, you’ll get back from the universe exactly what you deserve. There are plenty of individuals who believe that their success and accomplishment should be handed over to them. You must first develop the ruthless ambition to achieve, and then later on, after you’ve put forth some effort, you can appreciate the luxury that you’ve worked so hard for.

The Power of Ambition by Jim Rohn also discusses the seven components of resilience and how they can help to make your life easier. Resilience is something that not everyone has. When life gets hard, most people give up. When you quit on your goals, you’re sure to suffer the consequences. Some of the things you may feel after quitting include guilt, a decreased sense of self-esteem, and misery. With resilience, you’ll refuse to let small circumstances bring you down, but instead, develop a shield against all the debris, and continue to move forward – no matter how difficult it may seem at the moment.

This book also talks about the five aspects of patience in action – also commonly referred to as persistence. People who are persistent will continue to move toward their goals on a daily basis. The key to achieving what you want in life is to never give up. Although it may feel as though you are currently working against the tides, eventually, you’ll make it there. The Power of Ambition by Jim Rohn discusses how having ambition changes everything around you as well as within you. Suddenly, you’re a new person with a new sense of purpose. When you’re provided with the desire to achieve, you experience life in a new way and feel as though you have something to live for.

This motivational guide was created to change your way of looking at who you are as a person and to help you manage your own life. Instead of letting surrounding circumstances and other individuals drag you around in life, The Power of Ambition by Jim Rohn opens your eyes to the fact that where you end up is up to you. The journey doesn’t have to be difficult, but an enjoyable one. With a solid sense of ambition, you won’t allow anything to get in your way, thus helping to make you a stronger and more determined individual.
