To build web pages, sites, or apps, you need three core skills. You need to write and edit HTML, the language of the Web; wield CSS to control your pages' design; and apply key principles of efficient, attractive web layout to serve your users well. But you needn't learn "everything" about HTML, CSS, and web layout: just how to use them efficiently to solve real problems. In Learn Enough HTML, CSS, and Layout to be Dangerous, Lee Donahoe and renowned instructor Michael Hartl teach the specific concepts, skills, and approaches you need to do that—as you write apps, get hired, collaborate, and maybe even launch your own company. As you build a complete site and discover how everything fits together, you'll learn enough about:
- Deploying a simple but real website to the live Web right away
- Using CSS to style websites
- Mastering key layout principles for web design
- Setting up custom domains
- Controlling your online presence with custom domains and email
