Summary

A solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript -- and how they work together -- is vital to any kind of contemporary web development.  And these core technologies are only growing in importance as contemporary web development moves away from a reliance on proprietary technologies like Flash for rich interface and mobile applications.

 

Teach Yourself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript All in One combines these three fundamental web development technologies into one clearly written, carefully organized, step-by-step tutorial that expertly guides the beginner through these three interconnected technologies.

 

By the end of this book the reader will understand how these technologies work, and more importantly, how they work together to create modern web pages and sites. After completing the book's lessons the reader will be able to confidently create basic but professional-looking interactive web sites.

Coverage of the HTML5, CSS3, and ECMAScript 6 standards is thoughtfully integrated into every chapter of the book, mentioning new features or tools within context of the task or topic at hand.
