While it does assume that students spend at least some time viewing web pages on the Internet and have basic computer skills, it assumes no other knowledge on their part. Not only will they learn to plan and create a working website, but they will discover many of the "tricks" that take a website from basic to cool and useful. Web design is a broad area that can encompass many things: coding knowledge, graphic design, copywriting, page layout, and more-even server software programming. One book cannot teach it all. This book mainly focuses on teaching HTML coding and formatting using CSS, utilizing both IBM Windows and Macintosh. Other areas are touched upon, but these basic skills will carry your student a long way toward their goal of website design. This book is a complete rewrite from previous editions. It has been updated to the latest versions HTML (version 4.01) and CSS (version 2.1). The lessons teach web design that is XHTML compliant, and students can learn how to make a purely XHTML web page. CSS, cascading style sheets, has been given an extremely thorough treatment with three chapters dedicated to the subject, along with it being referenced throughout the book.Dennis Gaskill, a.k.a. Boogie Jack, is one of the most popular web page designers on the web. Students will enjoy his humor and they will love his book! Boogie Jack has received thousands of testimonials from his monthly Almost a Newsletter subscribers, confirming what a great job he does instructing them to create web sites.

Download or read book PHP Solutions written by David Powers and published by Apress. This book was released on 2011-05-30 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of David Powers' highly-respected PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy. This new edition has been updated by David to incorporate changes to PHP since the first edition and to offer the latest techniques—a classic guide modernized for 21st century PHP techniques, innovations, and best practices. You want to make your websites more dynamic by adding a feedback form, creating a private area where members can upload images that are automatically resized, or perhaps storing all your content in a database. The problem is, you're not a programmer and the thought of writing code sends a chill up your spine. Or maybe you've dabbled a bit in PHP and MySQL, but you can't get past baby steps. If this describes you, then you've just found the right book. PHP and the MySQL database are deservedly the most popular combination for creating dynamic websites. They're free, easy to use, and provided by many web hosting companies in their standard packages. Unfortunately, most PHP books either expect you to be an expert already or force you to go through endless exercises of little practical value. In contrast, this book gives you real value right away through a series of practical examples that you can incorporate directly into your sites, optimizing performance and adding functionality such as file uploading, email feedback forms, image galleries, content management systems, and much more. Each solution is created with not only functionality in mind, but also visual design. But this book doesn't just provide a collection of ready-made scripts: each PHP Solution builds on what's gone before, teaching you the basics of PHP and database design quickly and painlessly. By the end of the book, you'll have the confidence to start writing your own scripts or—if you prefer to leave that task to others—to adapt existing scripts to your own requirements. Right from the start, you're shown how easy it is to protect your sites by adopting secure coding practices.

Book excerpt: With the growing trend of everything being online and the need for businesses and even individuals to have a "web presence", it makes sense that we would see an increase in website creation tools geared towards those who might not have the technical skills required to do real HTML website coding. Not too long ago, if you wanted a website created for yourself or your company, you would need to hire a website developer to do all the work, and this is certainly not a cheap process.

Wix on the other hand has a vast array features that you can apply to your pages to create very professional looking websites without needing to have a web designer background. The goal of this book is to get you up and running with Wix and cover all the things you need to know to get you started creating professional looking websites.

Download or read book Rocket Surgery Made Easy written by Steve Krug and published by New Riders. This book was released on 2009-12-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's been known for years that usability testing can dramatically improve products. But with a typical price tag of $5,000 to $10,000 for a usability consultant to conduct each round of tests, it rarely happens. In this how-to companion to Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, Steve Krug spells out a streamlined approach to usability testing that anyone can easily apply to their own Web site, application, or other product. (As he said in Don't Make Me Think, "It's not rocket surgery".) Using practical advice, plenty of illustrations, and his trademark humor, Steve explains how to: Test any design, from a sketch on a napkin to a fully-functioning Web site or application Keep your focus on finding the most important problems (because no one has the time or resources to fix them all) Fix the problems that you find, using his "The least you can do" approach By paring the process of testing and fixing products down to its essentials ("A morning a month, that's all we ask"), Rocket Surgery makes it realistic for teams to test early and often, catching problems while it's still easy to fix them. Rocket Surgery Made Easy adds demonstration videos to the proven mix of clear writing, before-and-after examples, witty illustrations, and practical advice that made Don't Make Me Think so popular.
