Web Design in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference, 3/e (Paperback)

Description

Are you still designing web sites like it's 1999? If so, you're in for a surprise. Since the last edition of this book appeared five years ago, there has been a major climate change with regard to web standards. Designers are no longer using (X)HTML as a design tool, but as a means of defining the meaning and structure of content. Cascading Style Sheets are no longer just something interesting to tinker with, but rather a reliable method for handling all matters of presentation, from fonts and colors to the layout of the entire page. In fact, following the standards is now a mandate of professional web design.

Our popular reference, Web Design in a Nutshell, is one of the first books to capture this new web landscape with an edition that's been completely rewritten and expanded to reflect the state of the art. In addition to being an authoritative reference for (X)HTML and Cascading Style Sheets, this book also provides an overview of the unique requirements of designing for the Web and gets to the nitty-gritty of JavaScript and DOM Scripting, web graphics optimization, and multimedia production. It is an indispensable tool for web designers and developers of all levels.

The third edition covers these contemporary web design topics:

• Structural layer: HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 (9 chapters), including an alphabetical reference of all elements, attributes and character entities
  
  
• Presentation layer: Ten all-new chapters on Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2.1, including an alphabetical reference of all properties and values.
  
  
• Behavior layer: JavaScript and scripting with the Document Object Model (DOM)
  
  
• Web environment: New web standards, browsers, display devices, accessibility, and internationalization
  
  
• Web graphics optimization: Producing lean and mean GIF, JPEG, PNG, and animated GIFs
  
  
• Multimedia: Web audio, video, Flash, and PDF

Organized so that readers can find answers quickly, Web Design in a Nutshell, Third Edition helps experienced designers come up to speed quickly on standards-based web design, and serves as a quick reference for those already familiar with the new standards and technology.

There are many books for web designers, but none that address such a wide variety of topics. Find out why nearly half a million buyers have made this the most popular web design book available.

描述

你還在像1999年一樣設計網站嗎？如果是的話，你會感到驚訝。自從這本書的上一版出版五年以來，網絡標準已經發生了重大變化。設計師不再將(X)HTML作為設計工具，而是將其作為定義內容意義和結構的手段。層疊樣式表不再只是一個有趣的嘗試，而是一種可靠的方法，用於處理所有與呈現有關的事項，從字體和顏色到整個頁面的佈局。事實上，遵循標準現在已經成為專業網頁設計的要求。

我們的熱門參考書《Web Design in a Nutshell》是第一本完全重寫和擴展以反映最新技術的書籍之一。除了作為(X)HTML和層疊樣式表的權威參考外，本書還概述了為網絡設計的獨特要求，並深入介紹了JavaScript和DOM腳本、網絡圖形優化和多媒體製作等細節。對於各級網頁設計師和開發人員來說，這是一個不可或缺的工具。

第三版涵蓋了以下當代網頁設計主題：
- 結構層：HTML 4.01和XHTML 1.0（9章），包括所有元素、屬性和字符實體的字母順序索引。
- 呈現層：十個全新章節關於層疊樣式表，2.1級，包括所有屬性和值的字母順序索引。
- 行為層：JavaScript和使用文檔對象模型（DOM）進行腳本編寫。
- 網絡環境：新的網絡標準、瀏覽器、顯示設備、可訪問性和國際化。
- 網絡圖形優化：製作精簡高效的GIF、JPEG、PNG和動態GIF。
- 多媒體：網絡音頻、視頻、Flash和PDF。
