Description
This book is the one resource you'll need for understanding and implementing the vast array of Web standards information. Web Standards Design Guide is really three books in one- a detailed overview of standardization, a reference book for the standards, and a step-by-step, how-to guide for creating standards-compliant Web sites. The book details the essential Web standards, including XML, CSS, accessibility, xForms, and xLink. It uses practical Web page examples throughout to help explain why you should work within standards, which ones are relevant to specific projects, how to use them, and how to convert existing code. The ultimate goal of the book is to teach you how to write standards-compliant code; however, you'll also learn about workflow and processes that will help ensure your code's compliance and increase efficiency and turnaround time for your projects. Future insights to where the Web is headed are also provided with tips on how designers can prepare for it. Using the skills and wisdom provided throughout the book, you'll be well prepared to create high-quality sites that meet today's standards.
