I know quite a but of CSS, since I have been studying the 'CSS, DHTML & AJAX' book. I did know a bit of CSS before. I think thee are a few setbacks with CSS, one of them being that it is a bit more complicated to implement than bog standard tables.
As DPS said, it does make your development life alot more easier, I have started using CSS on my own website, but have stuck with tables for a couple of client websites just so I could get them done quicker, but they still look good.
I'm currently studying the 'PHP and MySQL For Dynamic Sites' book, it makes a very good read, and so far I've managed to implement a couple of advanved PHP settings - makes me feel special.
