Best introduction to post CSS 2.0 web design? NOT for beginners.

So it's been a long time since I was keen on web design but I want to get back in. This is all for personal stuff not for money or work. The last time I did any web design I was working with XHTML and CSS 2.0 JUST as it was becoming popular. However I still relied on tables for layout and the like. What I'm looking for is a good introduction to some more modern web design techniques. NOT a beginners tutorial. Something that shows how a modern and complex site layout is put together properly using the CSS box model layout. Anyone know of any good resources? Thanks. I didn't put this in programming cause I don't really think of HTML and CSS as programming but if the mods insist they can move it.

I would start with w3schools.com

Skip over the stuff you know but it will make a great refresher.

Sitepoint is a great resource/forum. The CSS board has tons of links to tutorials, etc.

Yeah CSSSchools isn't quite what I'm thinking off. I know the basics perfectly fine. In fact I'd say I could probably throw together a modern design using the CSS box model (using DIV and SPAN tags for ALL layout) with a bit of struggling. But I'd like to see a walkthrough of how a more complex site layout is done just so I know I'm on the right footing.
 
what is complex? Personally a simple layout is better. easier to make and easier for the user.

Google for "css x column layout" where x is the number of columns.

I usually have 2 Column layout + header and footer.

As you sure know the biggest issue is to be compatible to different versions of IE especially IE6.
 
Look for CSS layout tutorials, both fixed and floated. Also you should be looking towards CSS3 now not CSS2. A good book is called "CSS Mastery".
