Well Done
Really like this book and the approach to learning HTML5/CSS. To quote the author [beginning of ch6]:”No one can know every nuance, capability, and syntax in the CSS language. I’ve been working with CSS for two decades and on a weekly basis I still discovers something new (or just as likely rediscover something I’d forgotten). As such, I don’t feel that trying to know every possible CSS property and value permutation is actually a worthwhile pursuit. Instead, I think it’s more sensible to develop a good grasp of what’s possible and what capabilities exist that solve the most common problems.”This book reflects this attitude. It provides a great introduction/overview of the core concepts with great working examples. Lots of references to resources on the web providing the reader with a great resources in areas you may want to dig in further with.You can read this book by itself to get a great feel for things at a high level, you can reference it while sitting in front of a computer/browser/text editor to dig in a little deeper… or you can really dig in with the references provided.This book covers core material and concepts of CSS and HTML for responsive web design without dragging the reader through excessive technical details. It’s enough to get you up and running. It provides a good foundation to build on. Well done.

Excellent
This book has just the right amount of detail without getting bogged down. There are well prepared examples available online to follow along. The author’s writing style and humor make for a quick and easy read.This book is not for beginning programmers, but if you already have a basic understanding, this book will make you productive.

An Outstanding Book
This is one of the best books I read. It bridges the gap between the classic CSS: The Missing Manual book and the latest features of CSS.

A readable state-of-art instructive CSS/HTML styling and layout reference
This third edition is the first edition Iâve read. The copy-editing is good. The material is fresh. The presentation is informal – almost conversational – with light humor. The author warns of confusing terms (e.g. auto-fill vs auto-fit, cover vs contain) in an âI, too, was confused at firstâ tone.Iâm an aged senior software engineer. Iâm re-styling my homely React application to render professionally and aesthetically. I will use this book as a state-of-art responsive layout / style reference. Grid concepts (e.g. explicit, implicit, and tracks) along with FlexBox material are particularly timely, as well as the parts dealing with responsive menus and sidebars.The public download examples operate easily. A click of an index.html does it. The first example motivated me to seek out a bakery. You can test a given responsive example like it’s a sponge — give it a good squeeze. The animation, clipping, and transformation examples are innovative. The chapter nine âfrontâ âbackâ animations are creative (I think somebody should produce one of the author’s plays).Want CSS to render slashed zeros ⦠or not? Want to know more about CSS conditionals, typography, feature queries, font fallbacks, and variable fonts? How about colors? Translucent areas? Multiple gradients that repeat? Instances of shadows, spreads and blurs? Clipping to a path? CSS filters? All are covered. They present in easily executable examples. Right-click âInspect elementâ in your browser to see the source of magic that you can tweak dynamically to alter the effect.The author quotes performance: âArchitecture is inside the braces, performance is inside. -Ben Frainâ. He goes on to discuss path clipping, image masking, animations, and mix-blend-mode. Those are cool inside-the-braces capabilities illustrated in the clickable examples. Wow-factor positively. Cycle-cost negatively.The final four chapters ice the book:Chapter eight surveys practical timely SVG material that serves as a useful reference that stands-in for another full book purchase. A sidebar mentions embedding a literal SVG image in CSS via a base 64 data URI, versus using data sprites. SVG background images as well as SVG font-like icons are in vogue. The chapter mentions expected exceptions from Internet Explorer.Chapter nine covers a need to know about 2-D and 3-D transformations. I may use the presented progressive enhancement of 3-D to make a left menu collapse into an off-canvas menu. Read it to see what I mean.Chapter ten is a super-practical treatment of HTML forms. The first example is a “before” boring request form that looks like something from a federal government. The chapter migrates it to a better “after” rendition, adding placeholders, auto-complete, dynamic list association, and a plethora of HTML5-specific input types, while making it squish from a web page to an iPhone at-will. The added background fill effect is gravy.The final chapter, eleven, is a valued compendium of helpful hints, closing a useful and readable book. The author recommends avoiding CSS frameworks, which surprised me. I see that I could live without them, given the rationale and information from this book.I obtained this book from the publisher in return for a fair and unbiased review. I recommend the book. I intend to click “Purchase” for the print edition.

This is a terrific book. The author walks you through all the features of HTML5 and CSS3 that you’ll need to implement modern responsive pages, just as the title suggests. It isn’t a comprehensive reference (use MDN, etc., for that), but it covers all the essentials, and then some.I wouldn’t recommend this as your first HTML or CSS book, if you’re just starting to learn web design. If you know the basics already, though, this will level-up your skills to work across devices, use the latest layout and styling features, and even handle SVG and animations if you want to go that far.The only thing you might want to be aware of is that this book is completely framework agnostic – it doesn’t have anything related to React/Angular/Vue/etc. nor to Bootstrap/etc. That’s a good things, since you _should_ be learning how to do things _without_ a framework. Just be aware that you won’t get any help making your JSX responsive, or anything like that.Bottom line: This is a great book, which will teach something new to almost any web developer out there, from newbies to seasoned pros.

I can say confidently that this is the best book I’ve ever read about Frontend web development. This is an amazing book which covers all the basics concepts about responsive web development including the tips and tricks in CSS and HTML. I really liked this book and I use this book in my everyday coding as an assistant for me. It much more healthier than looking into screens for a long time. It have everything you need to keep in mind while building a responsive webpage.I will recommend this book for every aspiring beginner web designers.I am giving a rating of 10/10. So happy with Amazon’s delivery service also.âï¸ð

Ich habe mehrere Bücher zum Thema HTML-5 und CSS-3 ⦠sie sind alle irgendwie ganz gut aber didaktisch eine Katastrophe. Dieses Buch hier ist eine ganz wunderbare und herausragende Ausnahme!Schon nach den ersten Seiten habe ich alles gefunden, wonach ich zur Auffrischung von HTML suchte: Nach der Frage, was eigentlich eine responsive Seite ausmacht. Und führt einen das Buch in einfachen Schritten zu allen Themen, die Relevanz haben und sich sofort umsetzen lassen.Ich jedenfalls finde dieses Buch zumindest für die âerste Sahne,â die rudimentäre HTML-Kenntnisse aus der guten alten Zeit haben und das Ganze jetzt auffrischen müssen.Mir jedenfalls hat es supergut gefallen! 🙂 Daumen hoch!
