Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML and CSS
In the early days of the web, when people first started properly to embrace the technology , to publish homepages, and to develop online corporate presences for their companies, they all realized fairly quickly that the medium was quite limiting. Necessity is the mother of invention, though. People began to coax out of their web pages tricks and displays that were never intended by the technologies they used, and the browsers helped them along the way by adding features that offered even more opportunities for this kind of behavior.

Foundation Website Creation with CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript
Coming to web development with a blank slate can be pretty intimidating. There are a lot of things to learn about the proper construction of a website. The most successful websites have a great deal of thought and work put into them before they’re even put into production. Although it can be scary, there has never been a better time to get started than the present. Web browsers are finally starting to reach a point where they all follow standards (more or less). More »
The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP
The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP . . . Wow, the title’s almost as long as the book! And what’s that “essential” doing in there? “Essential” suggests that it’sa book you can’t do without. So, who’s it for and why should you be reading it? Dreamweaver isn’t a difficult program to use, but it’s difficult to use well. It’s packed with features, and more have been added with each new version. The user interface has barely changed in the last few versions, so it’s easy to overlook some great productivity boosters if you don’t know where to find them. I have been using Dreamweaver on a daily basis for about seven years, pushing it to the limit and finding out its good points—and its bad ones, too.

But how can you get the best out of this book? More »

Adapting to Web Standards; CSS and Ajax for Big Sites
Amazing books !!!
Web standards is a term used to mean Web pages built using the open and compatible recommendations from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and other standards bodies as opposed to closed, proprietary, corporate feature sets. These recommendations, combined with modern best practices, exploit the standardized power of the modern Web browsers that dominate the market today, as opposed to out-of-date browsers that were feature-rich but inconsistent and often incompatible. Placing a graphic that reads “This site designed for Netscape Navigator” on the main page of a Web site should be a thing of the past.
Web standards fail gracefully when encountered by out-of-date browsers. The standards are also intended to provide greater benefit for accessibility and for other types of media. These techniques are built with intentional side effects that can benefit users, the company, and the team responsible for creating the sites. Whole books have been written on the subject.
