Well, as a personal opinion, I really like HTML Dog:

http://www.htmldog.com/

That site is really a lead in to their book, but I also like their book, 
so I don't mind.  Their tutorials always seem to to point out a way to 
do what I want.  If I needed to go beyond that, well, let's just say 
View Page Source on a website I like was quite often done.

I don't have the book on me, but I don't think it has much on CSS3, but 
since that's in such a weird flux of working draft/recommendation, it 
probably doesn't matter.
