HTML5 and CSS3 (the latest standards for HTML and cascading style sheets) are packed with coding options that make it easier than ever to create web pages with the features users want today, from an up-to-date look and feel...to immediate validation of user entries . . . to audio and video samplings. At the same time, there are still older browsers and millions of existing web sites that require you to integrate HTML5 and CSS3 features with the earlier standards. So how do you learn all this? This book is exactly the practical approach you need. It teaches you how to use HTML5 and CSS3 the way they were meant to work, with HTML5 to provide the page content and CSS3 to format the content and lay out the pages. But it also teaches you how to use the HTML5 and CSS3 features alongside the earlier standards to ensure that your pages will work for the widest possible audience. So if you are going to be developing web pages...whether you are a web designer, a JavaScript programmer, a server-side programmer, or a rookie . . . this book is for you. It begins with a 6-chapter, quick-start course to get you working at the professional level right away. Soon, you'll be using HTML5 features...like the semantic tags that improve the structure of your content and your search engine rankings . . . along with CSS3 features . . . like text and border shadows, rounded corners, and background gradients that give your pages a cutting-edge feel. And you will know how and when to blend them with the earlier HTML and CSS code. After that quick-start, you will learn how to make your pages work better for your site visitors by enhancing them with audio and video files . . . using the jQuery Mobile library to deliver content on mobile devices . . . adding jQuery routines for special effects like slide shows and accordions . . . and using JavaScript to provide for features like geolocation, web storage, canvas, and drag-and-drop . . . the kinds of skills that go far beyond what you will find in other introductory books.

If you're developing websites, you have to know JavaScript. There's no way around it today. And this latest edition of Murach's popular book teaches you how to code modern JavaScript that conforms to the ECMAScript standards, the way the pros do. At the same time, it teaches you how to use jQuery, the classic JavaScript library, to handle the DOM scripting that gives JavaScript so much of its power. And it works no matter whether you're a web designer who's coming from a background in HTML and CSS or a server-side programmer who's coded in languages like PHP, C#, Java, and Python.

PHP and MySQL are two of today's most popular, open-source tools for server-side programming. That means there's a continuing demand for web developers who know how to use PHP and MySQL at the professional level. And with this book, you can become one of them! In fact, in just the first 6 chapters, you will create a database-driven website that implements the MVC pattern, the way the best professionals do. Then, the rest of the book lets you build on that base to develop a full set of professional skills.

Today, JavaScript is used in 89.9% of all websites, including the most heavily-trafficked sites like Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon. That's why every web developer should know how to use JavaScript. The problem is that JavaScript is surprisingly difficult to learn, not only for programming novices but also for experienced programmers. But now, Murach's JavaScript (2nd Edition) makes it easier than ever to become an accomplished JavaScript programmer.
