Working at a corporation with a bunch of stuffy Java Developers it seems like there’s a resistance against using purely CSS for layout, decoration, and design. These Java Developers love their tables and don’t want to let them go. Recently we hired two CSS designers, all they think do and breath is CSS, which was a big step in the right direction by our management. Since the Java Developers are now being mandated to embrace CSS, thanks to me sharing CSS Zen Garden with someone in upper management, maybe it’s time to study up. The following list of sites come highly recommended from our top CSS designer, enjoy!
