Two books your shelf should have, both by some guy named Eric A. Meyer.
Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide
O'Reilly 1-56592-622-6
Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 Programmer's Reference

As for your second question. The order depends upon what you need to
accomplish first.
We'll assume you are already familiar with HTML. I would then start
incorporating some CSS.
DHTML is essentially HTML with some sort of scripting extension (JS, ASP,
PHP, etc.). That said, what you choose depends entirely upon what you want
to do and where you want to do it (server vs. client). Most people start
with Javascript but, if you have access to a system with PHP and MySQL you
can start there just as easily *and* start generating truly dynamic pages
from a database that much sooner.
