The goal of The
Web Designer's Killer Handbook, by Stefan Mischook,
is to present and
demonstrate some of the more useful techniques and code, in relation
to HTML, JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), that
the
author has found when creating websites and web applications. As such
it provides useful tips and code snippets.
The easiest way to get started with this web designer handbook is to
create a practice HTML page, cut and paste the code provided,
and
then make small changes to see how your changes look in the
browser and affect functionality. You will learn more if you try some
things on your own and change the code to try to do other things, or
break the code, and then see what happens. This
article explains
why its important to understand and know HTML, JavaScript, and CSS,
even when you are using a wysiwyg type of web editor.
