A solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript -- and how they work together -- is vital to any kind of contemporary web development. 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.
Until now, readers have had to rely on different books, from different authors, to develop an expertise in these technologies, often with little continuity between the different books.
Sams 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 you 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 you will be able to confidently create basic, but professional-looking interactive web sites. Coverage of the new HTML5 and CSS3 standards, as well as the latest JavaScript and jQuery tools and technologies, is thoughtfully integrated into every chapter of the book, mentioning new features and tools within context of the task or topic at hand.
