Are you still designing web sites like it's 1999? If so, you're in
for a surprise. Since the last edition of this book appeared five
years ago, there has been a major climate change with regard to web
standards. Designers are no longer using (X)HTML as a design tool,
but as a means of defining the meaning and structure of content.
Cascading Style Sheets are no longer just something interesting to
tinker with, but rather a reliable method for handling all matters
of presentation, from fonts and colors to the layout of the entire
page. In fact, following the standards is now a mandate of
professional web design.
Our popular reference, "Web Design in a Nutshell," is one of the
first books to capture this new web landscape with an edition
that's been completely rewritten and expanded to reflect the state
of the art. In addition to being an authoritative reference for
(X)HTML and Cascading Style Sheets, this book also provides an
overview of the unique requirements of designing for the Web and
gets to the nitty-gritty of JavaScript and DOM Scripting, web
graphics optimization, and multimedia production. It is an
indispensable tool for web designers and developers of all
levels.
The third edition covers these contemporary web design
topics:
Structural layer: HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 (9 chapters),
including an alphabetical reference of all elements, attributes and
character entities
Presentation layer: Ten all-new chapters on Cascading Style
Sheets, Level 2.1, including an alphabetical reference of all
properties and values.
Behavior layer: JavaScript and scripting with the Document
Object Model (DOM)
Web environment: New web standards, browsers, display devices,
accessibility, and internationalization
Web graphics optimization: Producing lean and mean GIF, JPEG,
PNG, and animated GIFs
Multimedia: Web audio, video, Flash, and PDF
Organized so that readers can find answers quickly, "Web Design
in a Nutshell," Third Edition helps experienced designers come up
to speed quickly on standards-based web design, and serves as a
quick reference for those already familiar with the new standards
and technology.
There are many books for web designers, but none that address
such a wide variety of topics. Find out why nearly half a million
buyers have made this the most popular web design book
available.
