Synopsis
This book covers all the major front-end web development topics: XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript (and AJA X). Coding practices such as designing for larger screen sizes (around 980 px wide is now industry standard), designing for more recent browsers (and the features they offer), increased use of technologies such as AJAX, and the way that CSS is often split into multiple style sheets (e.g. separate files for layout, typography, colors, forms, etc.) provide the reader with up-to-date knowledge. Special checklists / mini-appendices remind people of the key topics and where they are covered in the book. Flow and visual impact of screen shots are optimized as well as copious examples. This also covers mobile devices that offers better online experiences such as iPhone and Blackberry. The way in which these popular devices interpret web pages is also covered, along with real-life examples, which helps educate readers in the best practices of designing for multiple devices. About The Author: Jon Duckett has been a web programmer for over 12 years, and has co-authored more than 10 books on web design, programming, accessibility and usability. He has commissioned and edited over 30 books on web development and curated conferences about web programming. For the past 7 years he has been a web strategy consultant, often coding front ends for projects and designing architectures for the back end programming.
