Overview of this book

Web design is the process of creating websites. It encompasses several different aspects, including webpage layout, content production, and graphic design. This book offers you everything you need to know to build your websites. The book starts off by explaining the importance of web design and the basic design components used in website development. It'll show you insider tips to work quickly and efficiently with web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, concluding with a project on creating a static site with good layout. Once you've got that locked down, we'll get our hands dirty by diving straight into learning JavaScript and JQuery, ending with a project on creating dynamic content for your website. After getting our basic website up and running with the dynamic functionalities you'll move on to building your own responsive websites using more advanced techniques such as Bootstrap. Later you will learn smart ways to add dynamic content, and modern UI techniques such as Adaptive UI and Material Design. This will help you understand important concepts such as server-side rendering and UI components. Finally we take a look at various developer tools to ease your web development process.

Knowing these differences will empower you in planning and executing your designs with better vision and results.

With the number of devices we have nowadays, it's important to understand the needs and behavior of each device to really understand how to design it. Content is key, and it needs to flow between each device. See it as water cooling on each device, as Josh Clark says:

"Content is like water. Content's going to take many forms, flow into many different containers, many of which we haven't even imagined yet."

(also inspired by Bruce Lee's famous quote)
