We are currently using the book in five sections of an intro web development course designed for non-technical university students and they are succeeding. I can't praise this book enough - it is clearly best of breed. Other topics include forms (standard and HTML5), mobile layouts, responsive design and media queries, multimedia, website planning and web project management, e-commerce, and an intro to javascript. Students learn to layout their pages the right way before tables are even introduced in chapter 8. Chapter 3 jumps right into CSS for style and formatting chapter 4 covers images and introduces the new CSS3 visual effects and chapters 6 & 7 delve deeply into CSS for page layout (that other textbooks barely touch on). Chapter 2 gets right into HTML basics, lists, and links. Chapter 1 introduces how the web and the Internet work.
DIGITAL FUNDAMENTALS 10TH EDITION POWERPOINT FULL
Web Development & Design Foundations, 6th edition is the ONLY textbook out there with a full set of instructor materials that covers HTML & CSS as it should be covered. Believe me, I know - I've spent countless hours reviewing them all very thoroughly and most are a waste of time and effort. The vast majority of books published by academic publishers are just using small incremental updates to previous editions, still use HTML tables for layout and menus, teach depreciated elements, and contain downright ugly or broken CSS for chapter exercises. What sets this book apart from the rest of the pack is that it covers the material based on current specifications and trends, separating HTML structure from CSS layout and styles. The book is appropriate for beginners as well as those who are already familiar with web development and want to learn more about CSS layout and the differences between XHTML and HTML5/CSS3. I've adopted this book for a college level introductory web development course after reviewing at least a dozen textbooks from academic publishers. In addition, there is a superb, open-access companion website developed by the author with tons of supplementary resources, flash cards, and chapter updates for any errata discovered after publication (). There are complete instructor materials available on the publisher's website including test banks, end-of-chapter and case study solution files, PowerPoints, example syllabus, and instructor manuals. There are also end of chapter exercises and four different case studies that build across all chapters, with solutions available only to instructors. Solutions to the practice exercises are provided in the student data files so that learners can compare their work to the correct solution. Each chapter has Hands-on-Practice exercises with step by step instructions and clear visuals that capture the result of the code. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent!
