Murach's Html, Xhtml, And Css

In just the first 6 chapters of this book, you'll learn more about web development than you can from most full books.It's true! In fact, by the end of the crash course in Section 1,
you'll be developing web pages the way today's best professionals do.That means you'll be using HTML/XHTML and CSS (Cascading
Style Sheets) in tandem: HTML/XHTML to provide and identify
the various elements of content on the web page (headings,
paragraphs, images, etc.) and CSS to format and lay
out the elements. You'll be amazed at the sophisticated
pages you'll be producing, including those that require
the use of the CSS box model, floating, and positioning.But that's just the start. In Section 2, you'll see how to refine
your web pages with the features that users expect today. That includes:Adding Flash, audio, and video to your pages
Formatting your web content for easy printing
Adapting your pages to display on mobile devices
Using tested JavaScript code to add features like image
rollovers, image swaps, and slide shows (a great first step in learning
JavaScript)

The chapters in this section are independent of each other, and each
focuses on the how-tos of a single feature. So you can go to whatever
topic you need to learn next, whenever you need to learn it.Finally, Section 3 rounds out your skills with chapters on web design
and deployment. Once you have a good grasp of how to develop web pages,
you can understand the kinds of decisions you have to make in designing
a site, and chapter 14 shows you how to do that using today's best
practices. Then, chapter 15 shows you not only how to deploy your site
on a web server, but how to get the site indexed on the major search
engines and directories.So whether you're new to web development or whether you've been
frustrated by the slow pace and gaping holes in the other training
you've tried, this book is for YOU.About the AuthorAnne Boehm has over 30 years of experience as an enterprise programmer.
