Santa, I know I have already wrote you two letters this Christmas (my last one was asking for one of them cool iPod Nanos), so please forgive for my third and final (hopefully final) letter, but Andy Budd's contest has sparked me to once again write you.
A friend I've known for a little over four years (Cody, somewhat of an apprentice to me) is a tremendous graphic designer, however no matter how much I preach to him about web standards he has the hardest time grasping the concept and gets frustrated to the point of putting it off until 'next week'.
When I first read CSS Mastery, it opened my many doors to my CSS creativity and has become one of the greatest referenceces sitting next to me on my bookshelf. I feel that the addition of CSS Mastery in my friends' bookshelf will help him take the leap into web standards and hopefully I can begin helping him even more than I have in the past.
Until next time, follow me on twitter, @michaeldick
