Like Justin Tadlock says in your referenced article, the body_class() provides the ability to add classes dependant on the type of term. Given that you indicate your php knowledge is still growing; this maybe the best solution.
The codex provides a list of classes on a body_class enabled:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class
If that isn’t sufficient; wordpress has a great script/style loader function, wp_enqueue_script to load scripts/styles:
<?php /** * The following would be a good method for controlling style loading */ if (is_category( $category ) ) { wp_enqueue_script('myscript'); }
Also, WPA.SE has zounds of examples of wp_enqueue_script and questions
