The Starting of "Zen of CSS Design"

This book is probably the BEST CSS book I've ever read, but it's also really hard for a technical background guy like me and should be taken over by someone who is more skilled in the English language. It is just a novel, rather than a tech book, commented by my PM lead Aditya. I've started for a week and just finished about 5%, which is really sad and unacceptable...

Everyone knows that CSS related book is especially difficult in translating for there're lots of un-translatable terms such as margin/padding/filter/hack. Still, the Chinese readers are sooooooooooo picky to make them happy. Whatever book you write or how excellent your translation is, they can still find the minor bugs and spread them out while denigrating your efforts without mercy. (Maybe they all have the potential to become good testers -_-b)

Anyways, giving up is not the way things usually work for me and for now the most important thing is to have a detailed schedule which could just force me to catch up with:

  1. 1st week: chapter 1 (38 pages)
  2. 2nd week: chapter 2, 3 (76 pages)
  3. 3rd week: chapter 4, 5 (76 pages)
  4. 4th week: chapter 6 (40 pages)
  5. 5th week: chapter 7  (40 pages)
  6. 6th week: review and update

From 2nd to 6th week, I have to keep the speed at about 10 pages per day... Everything will just be fine... Hope the book could be published before Chinese New Year.
