Unique web development books for your learning enjoyment
(To Sharpen Your Web Development Skills and Send Zombies Shuffling Back to their Horde in Shame)
Forty-three project ideas, plus wireframes for each idea, four sample designs, and two full builds all to aid your practice and help you kick the snot out of the Apocalypse
In this video course, you’ll get an intro to both HTML and CSS and look at the tags and styles that matter most for enhancing your writing for the web (and/or killing zombies). You’ll gain the confidence to hand code basic structures, handle weird code from Word, spice up your pull-quotes and dive deeper into code that enhances the presentation of your writing.
Put those zombie fighting skills to the test with this workbook featuring skills you’ve learned in the first six books from the Undead Institute. You’ll build a website for PFC Wiggins’s Unofficial Commissary, a source of cheese, “meat” and other goods for humanity’s compulsory, post-apocalyptic armed forces. With nothing but your wits and web skills you’ll take the site from a blank page through creating a fully functional, responsive website.
The layout apocalypse is over. With CSS Grid, Flexbox, and Columns you can design and build complex layouts that respond to screens of all sizes.
We’ll discuss not only these layout techniques, but how they can be enhanced with writing direction agnostic properties, making the internationalization of your layout that much easier.
Nothing takes down zombies like an HTML element on the move. 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
