Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong! is an eye-opening exposé on CSS as we know it today. You’ll discover a fresh approach to coding Cascading Style Sheets where old hacks and workarounds are just a distant memory.

You’ll learn how to start taking full advantage of the very latest CSS techniques while still catering for older browsers and discover what’s put the final nail in the HTML table-based layout coffin.

CSS was conceived in an age when web-site design was simple; its creators never anticipated the intricacy of designs that it would be asked to deliver today.

Clever designers figured out ways to make CSS do what they needed, but by using techniques so convoluted it became unpredictable and difficult to master. CSS just became too hard...

The good news is, that’s all about to change, and this book will show you how!

Sitting at the foundation of every site is HTML—the only language that’s essential to a web site’s existence. On the surface HTML may seem simple but there’s much more to it than meets the eye. With different versions, many infrequently used elements and attributes, and varying ways that browsers interpret the language, only this comprehensive and up-to-date reference, has it completely covered.

The Ultimate HTML Reference is your definitive resource for mastering HTML. The entire language is clearly and concisely covered, along with browser—compatibility details, working examples, and easy-to-read descriptions.

Writeen by Ian Lloyd, one of the world’s most renowned HTML experts, this is a comprehensive reference that you’ll come back to time and time again

Almost every web site created today is built using CSS, which is why a thorough knowledge of this technology is mandatory for every web designer. There are plenty of good resources to help you learn the basics, but if you’re ready to truly master the intricacies of CSS, this is the book you need.

One of the great things about PHP is its vibrant and active community. Developers enjoy many online meeting points, including SitePoint Forums[1] where developers get together to help each other out with problems they face on a daily basis, from the basics of how PHP works, to solving design problems like “How do I validate a form?” As a way to get help, these communities are excellent—they’re replete with all sorts of vital fragments you’ll need to make your projects successful. But putting all that knowledge together into a solution that applies to your particular situation can be a problem. Often, community members assume other posters have some degree of knowledge; frequently, you might spend a considerable amount of time pulling together snippets from various posts, threads, and users (each of whom has a different programming style) to gain a complete picture.

The PHP Anthology is, first and foremost, a compilation of the best solutions provided to common PHP questions that turn up at the SitePoint Forums on a regular basis, combined with the experiences and insights I’ve gained from my work with PHP on a daily basis over the last four years.

What makes this book a little different from others on PHP is that it steps away from a tutorial style, and instead focuses on the achievement of practical goals with a minimum of effort. To that extent, you should be able to use many of the solutions provided here in a more or less “plug and play” manner, rather than
having to read this book from cover to cover.

To many people, the word “JavaScript” conjures up memories of annoying popups, irritating mouse-trails, and frustrating no-right-click scripts. If you’ve ever been
on the receiving end of such a script, you’ll know how tedious they can be. Yet JavaScript is a mature, professional scripting language that’s used on the majority of modern web sites, and is a key component in almost all web-based applications. Hang on! Are we talking about the same technology here?

As with so many histories, both perceptions are reasonably accurate: JavaScript does have a dubious reputation, which it earned mainly in the first dot com boom when it was used for little else than opening popups, shielding code from casual scrutiny, and adding pointless whizz-bang effects. And in recent years, as both the web development community and the world at large have become more aware of accessibility issues, JavaScript has been singled out as a cause of many problems, though in reality, it’s not the technology itself that’s at fault—it’s the poorly planned and careless use that has given JavaScript this reputation.

Yet with the increasing popularity of remote scripting techniques (popularly referred to as “AJAX”), JavaScript is enjoying something of a renaissance. Designers, developers, and programmers from many different disciplines are becoming interested in—and impressed by—what was once the domain of specialists. Browser
vendors and other technology companies are taking another look at the potential of this powerful language, as the line between the Web and the desktop becomes increasingly blurred.

Gone are the days when you could satisfy your clients with the creation of simple Flash effects using the timeline. Things have changed… a lot! Basic animated tweens aren’t enough any longer—people expect more now, from scalable and reusable scripted animation, to external data interaction.

The problem for most fledgling developers is that, although they may know what they want to do, they don’t know how to do it. Perhaps they see the ActionScript Reference Panel and Actions Panel and think, “Whoa, I’m not going near that!” This is where Flash turns most people off. New users tend to either keep to the fringes and miss out on the real power, or they leave the application alone completely. But, it needn’t be that way. The use of ActionScript to create effects needn’t be an overwhelming experience. In fact, from animation to video, Action-Script can help you achieve your wildest Flash goals. The process can be easy, provided the code’s broken into manageable, bite-sized chunks.

Flash is about exploration. As you move through the examples in this book, you’ll find new applications for each area we explore. With a little imagination and some more ActionScript, you’ll have everything you need to create engaging, compelling effects. There’s simply no need to shy away from scripted projects. Whether you’re a developer or a designer, Flash has something for all levels of ability.

You won’t find pages and pages of theory in this book. What you will find are solutions that will enable you to do the cool stuff today, but which should also act as starting points for your own creativity. In my experience, it’s far easier to learn by doing than by reading, so while you can use this book to find solutions that will help you get that client web site up and running by the deadline, please do experiment with these examples and use them as a means to learn new techniques.

The book was designed to let you quickly find the answer to the particular CSS problem with which you’re struggling at any given point in time. You don’t need to read it from cover to cover—just grab the technique that you need, or that interests you, and you’re set to go. Along with each solution, I’ve provided an explanation to help you to understand why the technique works. This knowledge will allow you to expand on, and experiment with, the technique in your own time.

Once upon a time, JavaScript was a dirty word.
It got its bad name from being misused and abused—in the early days of the Web, developers only ever used JavaScript to create annoying animations or unnecessary, flashy distractions.
Thankfully, those days are well behind us, and this book will show you just how far we’ve come. It reflects something of a turning point in JavaScript development—many of the effects and techniques described in these pages were thought impossible only a few years ago.

Because it has matured as a language, JavaScript has become enormously trendy, and a plethora of frameworks have evolved around many of the best practice techniques that have emerged with renewed interest in the language. As long-time JavaScript enthusiasts, we’ve always known that the language had huge potential, and nowadays, much of the polish that makes a modern web application really stand out is usually implemented with JavaScript. If CSS was the darling of the early 2000s, JavaScript has since well and truly taken over the throne.

In this book, we’ve assembled a team of experts in their field—a veritable who’s who of JavaScript developers—to help you take your JavaScript skills to the next level. From creating impressive mashups and stunning, dynamic graphics to more subtle user-experience enhancements, you’re about to open Pandora’s box. At a bare minimum, once you’ve seen what’s possible with the new JavaScript, you’ll likely use the code in this book to create amazing user experiences for your users. Of course, if you have the inclination, you may well use your new-found knowledge to change the world.

This book will lead you through the components that make up the Rails framework by building a clone of the popular story-sharing web site digg.com. This will give you a chance to get your feet wet building a simple, yet comprehensive web application using Ruby on Rails.

While the first edition of this book hit the shelves shortly after Rails 1.2 was released, the Rails Core Team quickly hurried off to work on an even better and even more polished version of the framework—a version that was released in December of 2007 as Rails 2.0. Although seen as an evolutionary (rather than a revolutionary) update, Rails 2 features improvements in almost every corner of its comprehensive code base, hence the requirement to update this book. And the improvements continue: as we go to press, the 2.1 release of Rails is imminent.

Without going into too many boring details, rest assured that with Rails 2 you have the fastest and most secure, concise, fun and rewarding version of Rails in existence. You get a secure web application almost out of the box; using the latest web technologies such as Ajax has never been more accessible; and it’s just as easy to produce a well-tested application as it is not to do any automated testing.

This book will teach you how to:
* Appreciate why maintaining tables is a nightmare and how CSS can help

This excerpt is taken from SitePoint's new release, DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM. This title contains over 300 pages of DHTML techniques that enrich the user experience without sacrificing usability or standards-compliance.

The author, SitePoint's own Stuart Langridge, utilizes Web standards, and separates code from markup as he constructs compelling, usable and interactive DHTML applications that degrade gracefully.

DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM explores the Document Object Model, remote scripting, Ajax, XML-RPC and xPath, among other technologies, in showing you how to create applications for your own Web projects. Build your own standards-compliant hierarchical navigation menu; create animated tooltips; validate form data using regular expressions and give dynamic feedback to your users; construct an AJAX signup form that can let the user know if their chosen username is already taken, without their having to submit the form itself.

Want to build your very first web site, but not sure where to start? Considering a career involving web design? Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS is the most easy to understand, fun, and comprehensive guide to learning the fundamentals of web development — HTML and CSS. Join web development guru Ian Lloyd (of Accessify, WaSP and Britpack fame) as you build a complete, fully functional web site from the ground up.

What makes this book stand head and shoulders above other introductory guides to HTML is that you’ll learn the latest fully standards-compliant, best-practice techniques from the very beginning.

Armed with the knowledge you’ll gain from this book, you’ll build web sites that:
* Look good on Windows, Mac and Linux computers
* Will function correctly whether your visitors are using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera or Safari
* Are easy to update and maintain
* Are accessible to disabled users who use screen readers to view your web site

Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Applications is an easy-to-follow, practical and fun guide to Ruby on Rails for beginners. It covers all you need to get up and running, from installing Ruby, Rails and MySQL to building and deploying a fully featured web application.

Unlike other Rails books, this book doesn't assume that you are an experienced web developer, or that you've used Ruby before. An entire chapter is devoted to learning Ruby in a fun way, using the interactive Ruby console, so you can follow along at home. You'll be an accomplished Ruby programmer in no time!

"Content is king." Cliché, yes; but it has never been more true. Once you've mastered HTML and learned a few neat tricks in JavaScript and Dynamic HTML, you can probably design a pretty impressive-looking Website. But your next task must be to fill that fancy page layout with some real information. Any site that successfully attracts repeat visitors has to have fresh and constantly updated content. In the world of traditional site building, that means HTML files—and lots of 'em.

The problem is that, more often than not, the people who provide the content for a site are not the same people who handle its design. Frequently, the content provider doesn't even know HTML. How, then, is the content to get from the provider onto the Website? Not every company can afford to staff a full-time Webmaster, and most Webmasters have better things to do than copying Word files into HTML templates anyway.

Maintenance of a content-driven site can be a real pain, too. Many sites (perhaps yours?) feel locked into a dry, outdated design because rewriting those hundreds of HTML files to reflect a new look would take forever. Server-side includes (SSIs) can help alleviate the burden a little, but you still end up with hundreds of files that need to be maintained should you wish to make a fundamental change to your site.
