Tired of reading HTML books that only make sense after you're an expert? Then it's about time you picked up "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML" and really learned HTML. You want to learn HTML so you can finally create those Web pages you've always wanted, so you can communicate more effectively with friends, family, fans and fanatic customers. You also want to do it right so you can actually maintain and expand your Web pages over time, and so your Web pages work in all the browsers and mobile devices out there. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay - we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999 - but if you're going to create Web pages in the 21st century then you'll want to know and understand CSS. Learn the real secrets of creating Web pages, and why everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and his CSS is in an external style sheet. With "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML", you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking Web-safe colors still matter, and the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put you to sleep. If you've read a "Head First" book, you know what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load HTML, CSS, and XHTML into your brain in a way that sticks. So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to begin.

HTML has been on a wild ride. Sure, HTML started as a mere markup language, but more recently HTML's put on some major muscle. Now we've got a language tuned for building web applications with Web storage, 2D drawing, offline support, sockets and threads, and more. And to speak this language you've got to go beyond HTML5 markup and into the world of the DOM, events, and JavaScript APIs.Now you probably already know all about HTML markup (otherwise known as structure) and you know all aboutCSS style (presentation), but what you've been missing is JavaScript (behavior). If all you know about are structure and presentation, you can create some great looking pages, but they're still just pages. When you add behavior with JavaScript, you can create an interactive experience; even better, you can create full blown web applications."Head First HTML5 Programming" is your ultimate tour guide to creating web applications with HTML5 and JavaScript, and we give you everything you need to know to build them, including: how to add interactivity to your pages, how to communicate with the world of Web services, and how to use the great new APIs being developed for HTML5.Here are just some of the things you'll learn in "Head First HTML5 Programing" Learn how to make your pages truly interactive by using the power of the DOM.Finally understand how JavaScript works and take yourself from novice to well-informed in just a few chapters.Learn how JavaScript APIs fit into the HTML5 ecosystem, and how to use any API in your web pages.Use the Geolocation API to know where your users are.Bring out your inner artist with Canvas, HTML5's new 2D drawing surface.Go beyond just plugging a video into your pages, and create custom video experiences.Learn the secret to grabbing five megabytes of storage in every user's browser.Improve your page's responsiveness and performance with Web workers.And much more.

What will you learn from this book? It's no secret the world around you is becoming more connected, more configurable, more programmable, more computational. You can remain a passive participant, or you can learn to code. With Head First Learn to Code you'll learn how to think computationally and how to write code to make your computer, mobile device, or anything with a CPU do things for you. Using the Python programming language, you'll learn step by step the core concepts of programming as well as many fundamental topics from computer science, such as data structures, storage, abstraction, recursion, and modularity. Why does this book look so different? Based on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, Head First Learn to Code uses a visually rich format to engage your mind, rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. Why waste your time struggling with new concepts? This multi-sensory learning experience is designed for the way your brain really works.

Als neueste Version der Markup-Sprache ist HTML5 vor allem praxisorientiert und auf die Entwicklung echter Webapplikationen abgestimmt - es erleichtert die Gestaltung von Webseiten mit lokaler Speicherung, macht 2-D-Zeichnungen, Geolocation und Offline-Unterstutzung fur Webanwendungen moglich, und unterstutzt das Einbinden von Video- und Audio-Dateien ohne zusatzliches Plug-in. "HTML5-Programmierung von Kopf bis Fu" vermittelt in bewahrter Von Kopf bis Fu-Tradition anhand zahlreicher praktischer Beispiele, grafischer Elemente und Ubungen auf kluge und spielerische Art die Neuerungen, die HTML5 so spannend machen und sorgt gleichzeitig dafur, dass Ihnen das Lernen nicht nur Spa macht, sondern Sie auch behalten, was Sie gelesen haben. Dieses Buch wendet sich hierbei an Entwickler von Webanwendungen, die bereits HTML- und CSS-Kenntnisse mitbringen und die ihre Konzentration voll auf die Neuerungen und Verbesserungen von HTML5 richten wollen.

Scripture tells us that we should praise God and honor people with our words. This is a great goal to which we should all aspire, but it has proven difficult to obtain. It is far too easy to praise God and criticize individuals that are made in His image. You are not alone if you have experienced these inconsistencies. Thankfully, the Bible gives us some clear instruction on how to have consistency in our speech. This book will explore the connection between the human heart and the words that flow from the mouth, explain why there is discrepancy in speech and give practical applications to help you gain control over your words.

Each person is given the opportunity to respond to popular culture in a variety of ways. They can condemn, critique, consume or copy. Not only do individuals have this choice, each church has to choose its response to culture as well. What if we were never designed to passively respond to culture, but to create it? God specifically created each person to build a culture that honors Him. We are called to create a culture around us based upon the worship of God. The purpose of this culture is help people engage in worship beyond the corporate worship service. To teach them how to hear and see what God is doing and carry it out in every relationship and situation they encounter. To present something new and more compelling to the world than what they have seen before. This book will help you discover how to create culture by examining Jesus' example and then give you practical application on how to apply it to your life. This book is an invitation to come and discover the path towards creating a culture that acknowledges and worships God.
