Let me begin by saying this book is one of the most important, if not THE most important, web design and development books in my personal library. It is a reference for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) styles, but it is so much more. I read the book from cover to cover twice, and both times found it to be both an easy read and incredibly informative.

It opens with a chapter on how and why CSS evolved, and then Chapter Two goes into the basic rules for writing CSS code. The difference between block-level elements and inline-elements is clearly explained, as is when it is appropriate to use classes versus IDs and vice versa.

Our featured business of the week is the La Fogata Mexican Restaurant in Mauldin, SC. The restaurant is located at 107 E. Butler Road in Mauldin, a couple of blocks from the Butler Road/Laurens Road intersection.

My wife and I eat at La Fogata at least once a week, and view it as our “treat” night. The atmosphere is more casual than some high end restaurants and as a result is more relaxed and laid back. The staff is always friendly and courteous, and the service is almost always extremely fast. You are hardly seated before chips arrive and your drink order is taken. Once your order is taken, the food usually arrives hot within ten minutes or less. Even during busy times, you can be in and out within thirty minutes if you wish.

In our opinion, it is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the Greenville area.
