Book Reviews

The Art and Science of CSS 98

nateklaiber writes "The Art and Science of CSS was a quick read (208 pages) and packed full of valuable code examples. Unlike other CSS books that teach you the specifics of CSS with vague examples (not vague in a bad way), this book teaches you specific examples and gives you extra resources. This book is somewhat of a cookbook of commonly used CSS methods. Each author brings their unique writing style to the table, and each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of design and its CSS and styling methods." Read below for the rest of Nate's review.

Feed Engadget: Sonnet announces D400, D800 Fusion RAID storage systems (engadget.com)

Filed under: Storage


Sonnet's mainly popped up onto our radar for its various iPod accessories, but the company also has quite a few other products up its sleeve, to which it's now added a pair of new RAID storage systems. Boasting support for up to four and eight drives, respectively, the Sonnet Fusion D400 and D800 systems each come bundled with a PCI Express RAID host adapter, which will let you set 'em up in your choice of RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 10, 50, or JBOD configurations. Fully loaded, the D800 will give you a maximum 6TB of storage, although you can just buy one empty and pop in additional drives as needed (or pop out, as it's fully hot-swappable). Look for it to set you back just over $2,000, with the D400 a comparative bargain at around $660.
