If I don't have this at hand, it's sorely missed. A developer is only as good as his/her toolkit and Bob Stein's Browser Book is a great resource to turn to when you're wondering what's available to accomplish a goal.

Customer Reviews

Great time-saver
Anyone who regularly finds themselves looking up syntax for an HTML tag, CSS Style, and/or Javascript statement in a book (e.g. check index and then flip to page) will like this VisiBone booklet because it will save you time. In fact, I hardly look in my books any more for this type of info -- a quick lookup in this booklet is all I need. There is also other helpful info in the book besides just syntax, for example, if an HTML tag has an equivalent Style, it will tell you that next to the HTML tag. There is a lot of detail here in just a few pages and the color format is very readable; it's like a portable reference library for client developers -- great for coding on the road because of its portability.

For the Serious Web Developer
Lots of information packed into this spiral bound set of 5 laminated 8.5 x 11 inch cards. You won't need as many reference books, as most of the frequently used items can be found in this set. The color chart is a must have. Printed in a very small but crisp font. Not as well made a previous sets from this publisher, but still good if you're seriously into web development.

Great Reference Guide for any Developer
This cards really are quite beautifully printed, on good thick stock paper and have tons of great material. The color information is not quite as relevant now that using web-safe colors isn't a big deal, but this book has so much other great information, particularly if you do coding work and need the Javascript, DOM and RegEx guides. The CSS guide is also my favorite quick-reference sheet for doing style work. The only thing I don't particularly care for is how the JS and RegEx guides have "assert()" around most of the statements. While I understand from a programming standpoint this is more correct in terms of it being a "test" statement, it reduces the readability of what is really just a guide, not an actual programming construct. But that's a fairly minor nit, overall this is highly-recommended, go find yourself a copy!
