For courses in web development and design.

 

Give students a well-rounded introduction to web development and design

Web Development and Design Foundations with HTML5 introduces HTML and CSS topics such as text configuration, color configuration, and page layout, with an enhanced focus on the topics of design, accessibility, and Web standards. The text relates both the necessary hard skills (such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript) and soft skills (design, e-commerce, and promotion strategies) considered fundamental to contemporary web development. An emphasis on hands-on practice provides a well-rounded foundation to help readers as they pursue careers as web professionals. The updated and expanded 9th Edition contains current coverage of HTML5 and HTML5.1, expanded coverage of designing for mobile devices, and more.
