HTML & CSS: Layout Reading

One of the best CSS tutorials out there is from a local web development shop, bocoup. Their Learn CSS Layout tutorial focuses on fundamentals of CSS, something we want to focus on early to improve our development speed and understanding of CSS for later projects.

The tutorial is made of short sections that focus on one, specific aspect of layout with CSS. This makes it not only a great tutorial for layout, but also a valuable reference for later. You'll probably come back to this document from time to time when you need help with your layout.
