You’ll learn how to trigger transitions and then how to create a more complex movements, color changes and more using keyframes, easing functions, delays, and durations. So take those static zombie poking sites and turn them into zombie smacking tanks of human ingenuity.
Covering such apocalyptic topics as CSS shapes, blend modes, filters, gradients, counters and much more, this guide to smacking down zombies will take your CSS skills from afternoon luxury to evening gown elegance. Sharpen your skills to a razor edge and be ready for the apocalypse

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!
