css, is it worth taking further?

hey guys,

Resently i have been learning css as i need it for a site im putting together. I have a good knowledge of the language now but this question still hangs in my mind. Is it worth 'mastering'? i know php and c++ are infinatly valuable languages to know and have many uses but dose css have this kind of flexiblilty to justify learning it above any other?

any advise / comment is welcome

yeah go for it. CSS is excellent for web design and developing, really gives any website excellent potential.

but if your not into web design or developing, then its not worth knowing.

Lets say for instance you are going to go into web design. CSS isn't just good, it is essential.

For accessibility you can't be AA compliant You can't be web standards

You just CAN'T not use CSS

2 of the users i respect the most giving advice from experience. I think my mind is made up. Thanks guys

No problem,

I thought I'd mention it here as it doesn't really deserve its own thread.

Does anyone else subscribe to boagworld. Its fairly simplistic but very nice to listen to whilst walking

Just to add on…

CSS is big, alot bigger then some people think…

CSS can do some pretty amazing things if put in the right hands..

I could go threw and list a bunch of the cool CSS features but I will not…

Just google, you will find so many cool things built using CSS..

Things that you would think were built in Javascript yet there is no Javascript only CSS / HTML

No matter who you are, CSS is nice to learn.

Why not master something you will be using? Even if you do not plan on using it again, chances are you probally will use it again.

There is also a plus for mastering something..

Not only will you know it when you need it, you can stick it on your resume. Instead of saying something like: "Know a little bit of CSS" you could put, "Mastered CSS - Test Results Information"
