CSS3 used to be a topic for people who were in it for the long haul. Back in 2006, I started CSS3.info, and

CSS3 has finally gone mainstream. With the new age of browsers (such as Firefox 4, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer 9), we as a web design community are finally getting the power and flexibility we’ve been waiting for.

If you plan on using CSS3, this book is the most hands-on guide you’ll find. It shows you what works and what doesn’t, and no caveat is forgotten. Peter even provides a clear explanation for how transitions and transformations work.

Luckily you won’t have to use those when you’re taking advantage of the other—far more accessible—functions in CSS3.
