The Web Basics

Bundle

HTML
MORE INFO

HyperText Markup Language, or HTML for short, is the universal language of the World Wide Web. Every time you visit a website, the site’s web server sends HTML to your browser, which then renders it as the web page you see on your screen.

Because this process is universal, anyone who works with web technologies—which these days means virtually all developers, designers, and even many managers—can benefit from knowing the basics of what HTML is and how it works. Learn Enough HTML to Be Dangerous is designed to give you this foundation in basic HTML.

CSS & Layout
MORE INFO

CSS—short for Cascading Style Sheets—is the styling language of the World Wide Web. CSS lets developers and designers define what a web page looks like and how it behaves. Pretty much every website that you visit uses CSS to make the user experience and interface look inviting, which means that learning the basics of CSS is an essential part of becoming a web developer or designer.

Most CSS tutorials teach the subject in isolation, showing you how to make individual changes to things like text color or font size, without showing you how to put everything together as an integrated whole. In contrast, Learn Enough CSS & Layout to Be Dangerous is specifically designed to show you how CSS works in the context of a real website. In particular, you’ll learn not only CSS but also a static site builder. This is a powerful but oddly neglected tool that lets you control your site layout in ways that are difficult or impossible otherise.

JavaScript
MORE INFO

As the only language that can be executed inside web browsers, JavaScript is an essential part of every programmer’s toolkit. Learn Enough JavaScript to Be Dangerous is designed to get you started writing practical and modern JavaScript programs as fast as possible, using the latest JavaScript technologies (including Node.js and ES6), with a focus on the real tools used every day by software developers.

Unlike most JavaScript tutorials, Learn Enough JavaScript to Be Dangerous treats JavaScript as a general-purpose programming language right from the start, so the examples won’t be confined to the browser. The result is a unusually broad and solid foundation not only for web development, but for computer programming generally.

To be productive with JavaScript, you don’t have to know everything about it—you just have to learn enough to be dangerous.
