Foundation Website Creation with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript shows
the entire process of building a website. This process involves
much more than just technical knowledge, and this book provides all
the information you'll need to understand the concepts behind
designing and developing for the Web, as well as the best means to
deliver professional results based on best practices. Of course,
there is far more to building a successful website than knowing a
little Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The process starts long
before any coding takes place, and this book introduces you to the
agile development process, explaining why this method makes so much
sense for web projects and how best to implement it. We also make
sure you're up to date by using the latest HTML5 features. Planning
is vital, so you'll also learn to use techniques such as
brainstorming, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to get your
project off to the best possible start and help ensure smooth
progress as it develops.An understanding of correct, semantic
markup is essential for any web professional; this book explains
how HTML5 should be used to structure content so that the markup
adheres to current web standards. You'll learn about the wide range
of HTML5 elements available to you, and you'll learn how and when
to use them through building example web pages. Without creative
use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), websites would all look
largely the same. CSS enables you to set your website apart from
the rest, while maintaining the integrity of your markup. We'll
showcase the new features of CSS3 and how you can use them. You'll
learn how CSS3 works and how to apply styles to your pages,
allowing you to realize your design ideas in the browser.
JavaScript can be used to make your website easier and more
interesting to use. This book provides information on appropriate
uses of this technology and introduces the concepts of JavaScript
programming. You'll also see how JavaScript works as part of the
much-hyped technique Ajax, and in turn, where Ajax fits into the
wider Web 2.0 picture.While a website is being built, it needs to
be tested across multiple browsers and platforms to ensure that the
site works for all users, regardless of ability or disability, and
this book explains how best to accomplish these tasks. Then, it
discusses the process of launching and maintaining the site so that
it will continue to work for all its users throughout its life
cycle. Foundation Website Creation with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript
concludes by covering server-side technologies, acting as a guide
to the different options available. With insights from renowned
experts such as Jason Fried of 37signals, Daniel Burka of Digg and
Pownce, and Chris Messina of Citizen Agency, Foundation Website
Creation with CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript provides invaluable
information applicable to every web project--regardless of size,
scope, or budget.What you'll learn * See how the Web has developed
and the role of web standards * Learn how to plan and manage the
building of a website * Learn how to separate content from
presentation with HTML5 and CSS3 * See how JavaScript can be used
to enhance your website * Learn how best to test, launch, and
maintain a website Who this book is for Web developers and
designers starting out in HTML5 and CSS3.
Performance is a hugely important area of web development. If your
site runs slowly, users are going to leave, and the problem only
grows as your site gets more popular. Pro JavaScript Performance
gives you the tools you need to keep your sites smooth and
responsive no matter how many users you have. Best practices are
changing or becoming redefined continually because of changes and
optimizations at the interpreter level, and differences in system
configuration, and network speeds. This is exacerbated by the
quickened release schedule that most browsers have adopted. Just as
important as following best practices is the ability to measure
your own performance, so that you can adjust as times change, and
so that you can note the subtle nuances in your own code and define
your own best practices by your own observations. This book gives
you the tools to observe and track the performance of your web
applications over time from multiple perspectives, so that you are
always aware of, and can fix, all aspects of your performance.What
you'll learn * Describes the different aspects of performance, and
explores the tools for quantifying and improving performance *
Provides tactical solutions for creating tools to measure the
performance of your own web applications * Learn to apply
performance best practices, and how to quantify your results Who

Engineering Best Practices and Running in Production
Does the UK still have an industrial strategy? How should we
understand the renewed interest within government in industrial
policy - and now its apparent reversal - in recent years? This
collection of essay by leading academics and practitioners
including Victoria Chick, Kate Bell, Simon Lee, Karel Williams,
Susan Himmelweit, Laurie Macfarlane and Ron Martin - among many
others- considers the effectiveness of recent industrial policies
in addressing the UK's economic malaise. In offering a broad
political economy perspective on economic statecraft and
development in the UK, the book focuses on the political and
institutional foundations of industrial policy, the value of
"foundational" economic practices, the challenge of greening
capitalism and addressing regional inequalities, and the new
financial and corporate governance structures required to
radicalize industrial strategy.
Use R 4, RStudio, Tidyverse, and Shiny to interrogate and analyze
your data, and then use the D3 JavaScript library to format and
display that data in an elegant, informative, and interactive way.
You will learn how to gather data effectively, and also how to
understand the philosophy and implementation of each type of chart,
so as to be able to represent the results visually. With the
popularity of the R language, the art and practice of creating data
visualizations is no longer the preserve of mathematicians,
statisticians, or cartographers. As technology leaders, we can
gather metrics around what we do and use data visualizations to
communicate that information. Pro Data Visualization Using R and
JavaScript combines the power of the R language with the simplicity
and familiarity of JavaScript to display clear and informative data
visualizations. Gathering and analyzing empirical data is the key
to truly understanding anything. We can track operational metrics
to quantify the health of our products in production. We can track
quality metrics of our projects, and even use our data to identify
bad code. Visualizing this data allows anyone to read our analysis
and easily get a deep understanding of the story the data tells.
This book makes the R language approachable, and promotes the idea
of data gathering and analysis mostly using web interfaces. What
You Will Learn Carry out data visualization using R and JavaScript
Use RStudio for data visualization Harness Tidyverse data pipelines
Apply D3 and R Notebooks towards your data Work with the R Plumber
API generator, Shiny, and more Who This Book Is For Programmers and
data scientists/analysts who have some prior experience with R and
JavaScript.

Police violence of all types receives much attention from the
media, and this is especially true for police homicides that often
lead to demonstrations and protests. Police violence is a volatile,
recurring social justice issue that often receives media attention,
leads to demonstrations or protests and increases the tension
between law enforcement agencies and the community they serve. Tom
Barker examines police homicide and the different behavior patterns
that lead to it, ranging from misadventure to intent. To better
understand this complex issue, Barker has created 3 main
categories: accidental homicides, justifiable homicides and
criminal homicides. Barker includes a variety of cases from
accidental deaths involving careless, reckless or negligent law
enforcement officers to murders committed by LEOs engaged in
organized crime or serial sexual homicides. This book will be of
interest to those studying criminology, criminal justice,
sociology, political science, etc.
This book presents a powerful and thorough investigation into
police deviance and sexual misconduct in the US. Drawing on news
reports, official government press releases and academic research
sources, Barker examines a wide array of cases including sexual
harassment, sexual abuse, child molestation and police killings,
including those of prisoners behind bars. Substantiated with
additional cases from the UK, Russia and beyond, analysis is also
conducted of the experiences of the victims of those crimes.
Aggressors in Blue argues that this misconduct has its roots in the
nature of the law enforcement occupation, and outlines the typical
conditions which enables police sexual abuse to take place. This is
a bold new investigation which speaks to students and academics in
criminal justice, criminology and social justice in particular, as
well as to scholars, social justice advocates, law enforcement
professionals, policy-makers and academics in other related
disciplines.

This is an ethnographic collection of 12 edited talks and
conversations from a conference on violence, conflict, and the
world order held at Eastern Kentucky University. The conference was
organized by Carole Garrison, Chair of Criminal Justice and Police
Studies at EKU, who arranged for video recording and transcription
of the talks and conversations. The collection is divided into two
parts: domestic and global issues. Some of the topics examined
include violence against women, restrictions on women's
reproduction, culture and ideology, homeland security, terrorism
and invasion, empire, and human rights. The talks themselves are
framed by an insightful and exciting prologue and an intriguing
epilogue by the editor.
