What I like the most about this book is very detailed explanations on how to attack and solve problems. I also love the way how this book has a lot of examples that are compatible to most of the modern browsers. All examples are already presented on the site that goes along with the book.
The author also give tips on making design decision when making either small or large scale websites. It is very well written with full of examples that come with detailed explanations.
