    The best book I've been through regarding this is "Eric Meyer on CSS". Basically, he just takes a bunch of table based sites and re-implements the UI using good CSS.

    It is true that there are some things that will take you longer to do using CSS than you could do with tables, in particular the first time you do them. This is because you already know how tables work, and you probably don't know all the CSS techniques. If you spend the time to learn the CSS techniques though, you will probably soon start to see that it is a better way to go if you have the option. It's just a lot more flexible.

    Good luck.
