I love the Internet, and if you picked up this book, you probably do, too. The Internet is dynamic, chaotic, exciting, interesting, and useful, all at the same time. The web is pretty fun from a user's point of view, but that's only part of the story. Perhaps the best part of the Internet is how participatory it is. You can build your own content — free! It's really amazing. There's never been a form of communication like this before. Anyone with access to a minimal PC and a little bit of knowledge can create his or her own homestead in one of the most exciting platforms in the history of communication.
The real question is how to get there. A lot of web development books are really about how to use some sort of software you have to buy. That's okay, but it isn't necessary. Many software packages have evolved that purport to make web development easier — and some work pretty well — but regardless what software package you use, there's still a need to know what's really going on under the surface. That's where this book comes in.
You'll find out exactly how the web works in this book. You'll figure out how to use various tools, but, more importantly, you'll create your piece of the web. You'll discover:
I don't have any foolish assumptions: I'm not assuming anything in this book. If you've never built a web page before, you're in the right hands. You don't need any experience, and you don't have to know anything about HTML, programming, or databases. I discuss everything you need.
If you're reasonably comfortable with a computer (you can navigate the web and use a word processor), you have all the skills you need.
If you've been around web development for a while, you'll still find this book handy.
If you've used HTML but not HTML5, see how things have changed and discover the powerful combination of HTML5 and CSS3.
You'll see how new HTML and CSS features can literally make your web pages sing and dance, with support for advanced tools like audio and video embedding, animation, and much more.
If you're already comfortable with HTML and CSS, you're ready to add JavaScript functionality for form validation and animation. If you've never used a programming language before, JavaScript is a really great place to start.
If you're starting to get serious about web development, you've probably already realized that you'll need to work with a server at some point. PHP is a really powerful, free, and easy language that's extremely prominent on the web landscape. You'll use this to have programs send e-mails, store and load information from files, and work with databases.
If you're messing with commercial development, you'll definitely need to know more about databases. I get e-mails every week from companies looking for people who can create a solid relational database and connect it to a website with PHP.
If you're curious about AJAX, you can read about what it is, how it works, and how to use it to add functionality to your site. You'll also read about a very powerful and easy AJAX library that can add tremendous functionality to your bag of tricks.
I wrote this book as the reference I wish I had. If you have only one web development book on your shelf, this should be the one. Wherever you are in your web development journey, you can find something interesting and new in this book.
One of the great things about web development is how accessible it can be. You don't need a high-end machine to build websites. Whatever you're using now will probably do fine. I tested most of the examples in this book with Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux, and a Macbook pro. I've tested on computers ranging from cutting-edge platforms to mobile devices to a $35 Raspberry Pi. Most of the software I use in the book is available free for all major platforms. Similar alternatives for all platforms are available in the few cases when this isn't true.
Everything you need for web development is on the companion website. I've used only open-source software for this book. Following are the highlights:
There's no need to buy any expensive web development tools. Everything you need is here and no harder than the more expensive web editors.
Web development is about solving a series of connected but different problems. This book is organized into eight minibooks based on specific technologies. You can read them in any order you wish, but you'll find that the later books tend to rely on topics described in the earlier books. (For example, JavaScript doesn't make much sense without HTML because JavaScript is usually embedded in a web page written with HTML.) The following describes these eight minibooks:
Dateiformat: ePUBKopierschutz: Adobe-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat ePUB ist sehr gut für Romane und Sachbücher geeignet – also für „fließenden” Text ohne komplexes Layout. Bei E-Readern oder Smartphones passt sich der Zeilen- und Seitenumbruch automatisch den kleinen Displays an. Mit Adobe-DRM wird hier ein „harter” Kopierschutz verwendet. Wenn die notwendigen Voraussetzungen nicht vorliegen, können Sie das E-Book leider nicht öffnen. Daher müssen Sie bereits vor dem Download Ihre Lese-Hardware vorbereiten.Bitte beachten Sie: Wir empfehlen Ihnen unbedingt nach Installation der Lese-Software diese mit Ihrer persönlichen Adobe-ID zu autorisieren!
