Nothing stops zombies better than HTML5 forms and interactive elements (not even a shotgun or a harsh talking to from their mother). These HTML5 tags are engaging, helpful and don’t require complicated coding. In short they’re like a bazooka to a shotgun, taking down zombies with ease, flair, and panache.
This book covers the gap between code and design, the things zombies hope you won’t learn, usability. It’s how a user interacts with your site and whether they can find the information they came looking for or complete the task they set out to do. Better maintenance and better usability both lead to less crying and fewer zombies. That’s a win and a delayed apocalypse for everyone!

You’ll learn the major HTML elements, how use them and how to punch zombies in the HTML5.

By the time you’re done you’ll know how to build your own web page and kick zombies in the throat with your skills.
When you take websites from skeletal HTML structures to fleshed out CSS beauties they’ll take out twice the zombies per site. You’ll learn all the major zombie-fighting CSS skills like how to set colors, change fonts, create backgrounds, use the CSS box-model, move elements around and build two column layouts with floats and positioning. Your webpages will never again be as drab as a zombie’s thought processes again.
Level up your zombie-stomping CSS skills. The more zombie butt you kick the better it is for the human race, so once you have a basic understanding of CSS, this book will take your zombie butt kicking to a whole new level.
