Here’s some links:

Eric Meyer’s CSS/Edge

CSS Zen Garden

CSS 2 specification

CSS 2.1 working draft

I really recommend trying stuff out. Also, get the web developer and firebug extensions for firefox, so you can examine the CSS of specific elements on web pages you like.

He explains the WHY every step of the way, so you feel more confident to try new things once you close the book. Highly recommended.

I’ve always been partial to the MSDN CSS reference, but the Sitepoint reference looks promising in the extreme.

For working around bugs, the css-discuss wiki (look it up on Google) and positioniseveryting dot net are quite nice.

Don’t forget CSS Zen Garden.

Finally, for advanced work the W3C CSS 2.1 Recommendation is a frequent stop (when you need to ensure that you’re doing it right).

Finally, in the department of shameless self-promotion:

A List Apart: 12 Lessons for Those Afraid of CSS and Standards is my own take on the things to keep in mind when you’re making the transition into heavy use of CSS. The Code section of ALA (as a whole) iis chock-full of useful advanced CSS tutorials.

http://www.yourhtmlsource.com

There are also tutorials for Javascript and CGI scripting.
It is very well explained and the examples are more complete than some on W3school.

But what I realy like about W3school is that you can see the result in the same window and can play around much faster.
