Features
What HTML, CSS & JavaScript All-in-One For Dummies covers
Every website is built from the same three languages, and Paul McFedries teaches all three together across six mini-books and 848 pages. The aim is practical: by the end you should be able to build a static or dynamic site with a sensible layout, working navigation and some animation.
The six books
- Getting started - how the web works, setting up an editor and your first page
- HTML - page structure, text, links, images, tables and forms
- CSS - colours, typography, the box model, and modern layout with Flexbox and Grid
- JavaScript - making pages interactive and working with the DOM
- Dynamic pages - fetching data and updating the page without a reload
- Performance and deployment - responsive design, accessibility and getting the site online
Who it suits
This is the right one if your goal is to build websites rather than learn programming in the abstract. If you already know HTML and CSS and want to go deep on JavaScript and frameworks such as React, JavaScript All-in-One For Dummies goes further on that half. For children, Get Coding! covers the same three languages through missions.
