Web Design with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery Set

A highly organized beginner's guide to HTML and CSS, featuring well-illustrated examples for effective learning. While not intended as a reference manual, I've found this guide to be an incredibly valuable point of reference for beginners, surpassing even the comprehensive reference books. This resource is designed to equip you with a strong foundational understanding of HTML and CSS, covering nearly all fundamental principles in a clear and concise manner. Jon Duckett's "JavaScript and jQuery" is a brilliantly crafted and intellectually stimulating tome, offering a comprehensive step-by-step approach to essential concepts for beginners. Covering a wide range of topics, from executing a GET request to refining the intricacies of your website's login form, this book guides you through every crucial detail. The book's layout follows a contemporary design, exuding a modern aesthetic that draws you in and piques your curiosity. While it's often advised not to judge a book by its cover, this particular gem defies the norm, boasting an exquisite cover that perfectly complements the captivating content within its pages.

Despite being fairly competent in HTML through building sites in the late 90's, CSS, Javascript and Jquery on the other hand is new ground. I have been battling over 'An Idiots Guide' and 'For Dummies' publications for the past few months and tinkering around with CSS but I was not getting anywhere fast. (Please don't waste your time buying anything other than this set) Duckett has made these publications so clear to follow, explaining things in a clear informative manner. The layout of the book is designed in such beauty and clarity, it is not only a great reference book but also an absolute Joy to read. The first book was finished in 2 evenings. I even left a little note in all the library books I borrowed concerning HTML & CSS and told the next reader to buy this set. (don't worry it was on a post-it note) I'm now ready for Javascript and CSS and enthusiastically confident I shall pick it up with ease. Highly recommended for beginners, and a perfect reference for season pro's.

These books are just perfect. Both of them. Almost all essential topics are covered. Now, I'm not saying there are no better books out there to learn HTML, CSS and Javascript nowadays (2018). But the books just read so easily, and all topics are beautifully illustrated and presented with example code. Some people call these books reference books. I certainly don't. Because of the way the topics are presented (short, to the point, and lots of example code) this book should be read from start to finish. Read it on the train, on the toilet, in your bed... You will finish them in no time. And everything in there is essential to all web developers. Note: The books (especially the one on HTML and CSS) are slightly outdated in the sense that they warn you about features not fully supported by all major browsers back then. You can probably ignore these remarks a bit more than before. In the case of Javascript, these features are often implemented with a workaround (fallback code). These techniques are still valid today.

These books are a fantastic way to learn web development, the Javascript book in particular is amazing as it covers a lot but in a very intuitive order. The books structure is akin to building blocks that can be used to make a progressively sophisticated site as required. The presentation is excellent and easy to follow with detailed explanations od code snippets and a worked example at the end of each chapter that is accompanied by a great website that can be used to download all code or just play around with it right there on the page. It also makes very good reference and I find myself going back to it constantly, particulalry to see where and when techniques or libraries might be used. The content of the book is 5 star, however I remove 1 star for one reason; whilst the quality of the print is fantastic the paper (or is it ink?) chosen isn't great as touching any of the black pages immediatly leaves a finger print and attempting to clean makes it worse as it actually removes the ink. The binding of the book also seems weak and overall the book won't last long term use as reference. Pros: Clear, concise and well presented source that is great for learning and reference Cons: Poor printing choice that requires careful handling

Very good

Fast delivery and exactly as described

Obra que entrega o que promete: Uma visão geral de tecnologias para desenvolvimento web, cobrindo HTML, CSS, JavaScript e jQuery. Para iniciantes é excelente pois cobre aspectos básicos dessas tecnologias e fornece inúmeros exemplos práticos que ajudam a assimilar o conteúdo. Para experientes/profissionais pode ser um pouco maçante, principalmente no início das partes que cobrem cada tópico maior (ex. CSS). Apesar disso, a leitura atenta da obra possibilitará o refinamento dos conceitos e o aprendizado de alguns aspectos peculiares. Minha única crítica vai para algumas páginas contendo somente figuras que, apesar de tornarem a obra atraente visualmente, poderiam facilmente ser retiradas do livro sem comprometer o conteúdo global.

Excelente producto , el diseño y la calidad de los materiales es impecable, los conceptos muy bien explicados y fáciles de entender ya que al ser muy visual no es tan complicada la lectura . Libros muy adecuados para quienes quieran empezar a adquirir conocimientos de front-end y para quienes quieran profundizar lo que ya saben. El producto llegó en el tiempo estipulado y en óptimas condiciones
