Publisher's Synopsis
Revisiting your code to remove redundancies and inconsistencies-known as refactoring-is a common practice when using programming languages. With this book, author Steve Lindstrom not only shows you how to structure your CSS to build a responsive, easy-to-use website, but also how to use refactoring tools to create faster, more readable CSS.
Good CSS is essential to the look and feel of modern sites-as important as the HTML that dictates the site's appearance and the JavaScript that runs the application. This book is ideal for seasoned front-end developers cleaning up an existing project, as well as those starting a new project for the first time.
