Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are one of the most important technologies on the web today. They give web developers the power to style their web sites so those sites are usable, compact, good looking, consistently displayable, and quick and efficient to change if so desired. There are many books out there on CSS, but Beginning CSS Web Development is different—it doesn't waste time discussing theory, and it delves straight into the practical matter. It provides you with what you need to know, faster. It is also completely up to date, covering the most modern CSS standards and design techniques.

One of the toughest challenges novice CSS developers face is when seemingly perfect code doesn’t translate into a perfectly rendered browser page—and with all the different browsers available today, this happens all too often. The CSS Detective Guide aims to help, by teaching real world troubleshooting skills. You’ll learn how to track clues, analyze the evidence, and get to the truth behind CSS mysteries. These aren’t pat solutions, but rather strategies for thinking about CSS. Author Denise Jacobs begins by going over the basics of CSS with a special emphasis on common causes of problems. Then she shows you methods for giving your code the third degree. Then you’ll take a look at the line-up of usual suspects, the common problems and persistent bugs that are often encountered in CSS.

Finally, you’ll have the chance to play detective and find the guilty culprit in:

* The Case of the Devilish Details
* The Case of the Mistaken Identity
* The Case of the Single White Space
* The Case of the Float with a Mind of Its Own
* The Case of the Browser Who Hated Me
* The Case of the LOL Layout

Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns is a reference book and a cookbook on how to style web pages using CSS and XHTML. It contains 350 ready–to–use patterns (CSS and XHTML code snippets) you can copy and paste into your code. Each pattern can be combined with other patterns to create an unlimited number of solutions. Each pattern works reliably in all major browsers without the need for browser hacks.
The book shows how to
Code CSS and XHTML
Turn HTML into XHTML
Use CSS Selectors
Use six CSS Box Models
Create rounded corners, shadows, gradients, sprites, and transparency
Replace text with images without affecting accessibility
Style text with fonts, highlights, decorations, and shadows
Create flexible, fluid layouts
Position elements with absolute pixel precision
Stack elements in layers
Size, stretch, shrinkwrap, indent, align, and offset elements
Style tables with borders and alternating striped rows
Size table columns automatically
Integrate CSS and JavaScript without embedding JavaScript in XHTML
Create drop caps, callouts, quotes, and alerts
The book’s layout, with a pattern’s example on the left page and its explanation on the right, makes it easy to find a pattern and study it without having to flip between pages. The book is also readable from cover to cover, with topics building carefully upon previous topics. A software developer can use this book to learn CSS for the first time. A designer familiar with CSS can use this book to master CSS and XHTML. If you are completely new to coding or completely new to CSS and XHTML, you may want to read an introductory book on CSS and XHTML first.

Useful for both Web designers and developers, Core CSS: Cascading Style Sheets provides a definitive guide to style sheets, which provide a new level of flexibility for browser-based content. With a comprehensive reference to all CSS1 and CSS2 features and an excellent survey of which features work in eight of today’s browsers, this book shows off the strengths of style sheets for the next generation of Web content.Particularly for developers, CSS allows more precise control of elements inside browsers, making it a lot easier to create Web clients that compete with traditional stand-alone applications. But support for CSS in today’s browsers is spotty. The strength of this book is that it explains both the CSS1 and CSS2 standards, even though they are still under development. This text shows off what each property is supposed to accomplish with sample HTML and screenshots. The author is careful to note problems with CSS properties in today’s browsers. For the CSS1 standard, every property is marked as being unsafe, safe, or partially implemented on no less than eight browsers (including Netscape 3 and 4.x, Internet Explorer 3 through 5, and Opera for Windows, UNIX, and Mac platforms).

A really good web development framework anticipates your needs. jQuery does more-it practically reads your mind. Developers fall in love with this JavaScript library the moment they see 20 lines of code reduced to three. jQuery is concise and readable.

jQuery in Action, Second Edition is a fast-paced introduction and guide. It shows you how to traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax to your web pages. The book’s unique “lab pages” anchor the explanation of each new concept in a practical example. You’ll learn how jQuery interacts with other tools and frameworks and how to build jQuery plugins.

This revised and expanded second edition includes even more lab pages than before, along with numerous examples that show the latest best practices developed by the jQuery community. It provides full coverage of jQuery 1.4, along with a deeper look at the ever-expanding world of jQuery plug-ins.

This book requires some knowledge of JavaScript and Ajax but no previous experience with jQuery.

Вы хотите создать собственный сайт на просторах Интернета? Причем желательно, чтобы он был красивым, удобным и «не глючным»? Казалось бы, чего проще: существует столько программ — конструкторов сайтов. Однако чтобы создать действительно профессиональный сайт, подобных утилит недостаточно. Вам потребуется знание языков программирования HTML и XHTML, а также каскадных таблиц стилей CSS. И в этом случае книга, которую вы держите в руках, — именно то, что вам необходимо. С ее помощью вы научитесь создавать красиво оформленные, быстрые и профессиональные сайты. С этой книгой ваша страничка никогда не останется незамеченной в Сети!

Сегодня создание сайтов становится все более и более сложной задачей - динамически обновляющиеся страницы, необходимость поддержки на одном сайте многих разделов, таких как форум, рассылка, голосования, блоги и так далее, - все это приводит к тому, что управлять сайтами по старинке, с помощью HTML-редакторов, становится попросту невозможно. Какие же есть альтернативы? Ответ прост - CMS, или же, говоря по-русски, Системы Управления Содержимым. Одна из наиболее популярных в мире систем управления содержимым - CMS Drupal.
Почему именно она? Во-первых, она абсолютно бесплатна - скачать ее сможет любой. Во-вторых, она имеет открытый код, что делает ее наиболее удобной и легкой в использовании и настройке "под себя", а также обеспечивает ей поддержку многотысячного сообщества программистов. Ну и, наконец, в-третьих, - легкость в работе - практически моментально вы можете добавить любой из общедоступных модулей, будь то форум, возможность ведения блогов или новая тема в оформлении сайта. Единственное, что ограничивало применение данной системы в России, - недостаток русскоязычной документации. Однако с выходом данной книги и эта проблема решена. Никогда еще создание и управление сайтом не было таким легким!

Основы HTML:
Видео познакомит Вас с основными различиями между различными версиями HTML, перечисляет элементы разметки и характеризует виды документов, основанных на HTML.
Вы узнаете об элементах разметки тела HTML-документа, подробно разбирается их типизация, назначение и применение, принципы применения графических образов, таблицы, фреймы и формы.

Каскадные таблицы стилей (CSS):
Назначение и применения CSS. Блочные и строчные элементы. Цвет и шрифты.
Каскадные таблицы стилей. Способы применения. Описание стилей, переопределение стилей. Синтаксис. Наследование и переопределение стилей. Блочные и строковые элементы разметки. Определение цвета и шрифтов.

Этот видеокурс расширяет те знания, которые Вы получите из курса по HTML, и даст Вам в несколько раз больше различных возможностей для создания действительно неповторимых и качественных сайтов. Поэтому я рекомендую Вам максимально серьезно отнестись к этому курсу. Да и вообще, без знаний HTML и CSS соваться в область заработка денег в Сети, на мой взгляд - бессмысленно.
