Visit the RWD site 🚀This is THE guide for up to date front end web design. Mr Frain writes in a very easy to understand language and explains the code from a high level all the way down to the details, so you get a clear picture of what is going on. This is one of three books that I always keep on my desk at all times for reference. It is also one of the very few tech books with color images, which is a huge deal when talking about layout and design.
Understand the most fundamental parts of building a modern web site or application that will work across all devices. You'll learn the best approaches for having a fast and accessible website that works just as well on the latest iPhone or Android as a desktop computer.
The book covers everything from choosing the right tag to mark up content, to understanding the benefits of modern image formats like AVIF and WebP — and everything essential in-between. It also covers all the latest features of CSS: Scroll-driven animations, View Transitions, working with color formats like LCH and Lab, Custom Properties, variable fonts, CSS Grid and much, much more.
