Abait Christopher Scott Hernandez Mauvis Ledford Sophie Williams Dale Cruse Ed Henderson Rokesh Jankie Preface Responsive web design is an explosive area of growth in modern web development due to the huge volume of different device sizes and resolutions that are now commercially available. The Internet is going mobile. Desktop-only websites just aren’t good enough anymore. With mobile internet usage still rising, and tablets changing internet consumption habits, you need to know how to build websites that will just "work," regardless of the devices used to access them. This Learning Path course explains all the key approaches necessary to create and maintain a modern responsive design using HTML5 and CSS3. What this learning path covers Module 1, Responsive Web Design Beginner’s Guide, is a step-by-step beginner’s guide, where you will learn to build engaging responsive websites. With coverage of Responsive Grid System, Bootstrap, and Foundation, you will discover three of the most robust frameworks in responsive web design. Next, you’ll learn to create a cool blog page, a beautiful portfolio site, and a crisp professional business site and make them all totally responsive. You’ll also find out which framework works best for your project specifications. The module teaches you how to build presentable, responsive websites through examples, tips, and best practices of code writing and project organization. Additionally, you will also learn how to use CSS preprocessors, LESS, and Sass, which allows you to compose leaner style rules. [ i ] Preface Module 2, Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS3, is packed with examples, and a thorough explanation of modern techniques and syntax, it provides a comprehensive resource for all things "responsive." You’ll explore the most up-to- date techniques and tools needed to build great responsive designs, ensuring that your projects won’t just be built "right" for today, but in the future too. The module covers every essential aspect of responsive web design. In addition, it extends the responsive design methodology by applying the latest and most useful techniques provided by HTML5 and CSS3, making designs leaner and more maintainable than ever before. It also explains common best practice methods of writing and delivering code, images, and files. Module 3, HTML5 and CSS3 Responsive Web Design Cookbook, is your guide to obtaining full access to next generation devices and browser technology. Create responsive applications that make snappy connections for mobile browsers and give your website the latest design and development advantages to reach mobile devices. The topics in this module include responsive elements and media, responsive typography, responsive layouts, using media queries, utilizing modern responsive frameworks, developing mobile-first web applications, optimizing responsive content, and achieving unobtrusive interaction using JavaScript and jQuery. Each recipe features actual lines of code that you can apply. At the end of this course you will learn to get and use all the tools you need to build and test your responsive web project performance and take your website to the next level. What you need for this learning path Module 1: You need to have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS; at least, you should know what an HTML element is and how to style an HTML element with CSS in its fundamental form. Some degree of familiarity and experience with HTML5, CSS3, and command lines, though not essential, will be a great help to get the most out of this module. We will explain each step and all the techniques in full, along with some handy tips and references. Furthermore, you will also need a computer running Windows, OS X, or Ubuntu; an Internet browser (preferably Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox); and a code editor (in this module, we will use Sublime Text). [ ii ] Preface Module 2: • A text editor • An evergreen browser Module 3: You will need an IDE (Integrated Development Environment); NetBeans or Eclipse is recommended (there are instructions on how to get one inside), image editing software such as Photoshop or GIMP, a web host, and a local web server such as Apache or a local hosting application such as XAMPP or MAMPP. Who this learning path is for This course is for web developers who are familiar with HTML and CSS but want to understand the essentials of responsive web design. It is for those developers who are willing to seek innovative techniques that deliver fast, intuitive interfacing with the latest mobile Internet devices.

  • The Need for Speed 1 Speed Matters on the Mobile Web, but Perception of Speed Is Just As Important
    The Need for Speed 1 Speed matters on the mobile web, but perception of speed is just as important. In collaboration with: FOREWORD BY Mustafa Kurtuldu & Lionel Mora Whether you’re a web developer, web designer or web marketer, you probably care about the end user of your product more than anything else. If you don’t, well maybe we need another eBook for that! When we look at internet users today, there is one thing that is new and striking: their level of expectations. Since mobile has become the dominant way to view the web, users access content and services on the go, and expect to be able to do that with their smartphone, anywhere, anytime. They want this to happen fast: load time is now rated highest and most requested criteria in what users expect from a site. In addition to this, speed can have a massive impact on businesses, knowing that 53% of mobile site visits are abandoned if pages take longer than 3 seconds to load. In this context it becomes very clear that pretty isn’t enough. If you’re building websites, and particularly mobile websites, you need to make sure they are fast as well. But, speed itself isn’t the only thing that matters, how we as human beings perceive speed and reaction times of a website is of utmost importance. This is at the core of what this eBook will cover, exploring how speed perception impacts user behaviour on your website, as well as sharing tips, tricks and techniques to better aid you in crafting highly performant websites that appeal to your audience.

  • East Meets West on Flat Design
    Applied Research East Meets West on Flat Design: Convergence and Divergence in Chinese and American User Interface Design By Baotong Gu, Georgia State University and Meng Yu, Georgia State University Abstract Purpose: This study is designed to examine two design approaches: skeuomorphism and flat design, in both American and Chinese contexts. Questions explored include, What underlines this new design trend in American vs. Chinese cultures? How has this new design emerged? How will it evolve in the future? What culturally, underwritten aesthetic and rhetorical principles are at play? Method: Samples of user interface (UI) design are collected from both cultures and examined to compare similarities and differences wherever possible. In-depth textual analysis is used to deconstruct particular design cases. Results: Our analysis indicates that while flat design is the new trend, skeuomorphism has its place in UI design; each design has its advantages and shortcomings; and effective design may require the integration of both approaches. Our study also reveals that designs are culturally sensitive and that each particular design is contextualized and rhetorical. Flat design’s popularity in the Chinese context has its unique rationale due to social, ideological, cultural, and linguistic reasons. Conclusion: Savvy designers combine professional taste and culturally sensitive perspectives to produce effective designs that work for their particular contexts.

  • A Short Learning Css3 Animations
    A SHORT LEARNING CSS3 ANIMATIONS What is CSS3 Animations? With CSS animations now upheld in both Firefox and Webkit programs, there is no better time to try it out. Despite its specialized structure, whether customary, machine created 3-D, Flash or CSS, animation dependably takes after the same fundamental standards. In this article, we will make our first strides with CSS animations and consider the primary rules for making animation with CSS. We'll be working through an illustration, developing the animation by using the standards of conventional animations. Nowdays, so many options are available for learning css3 animation concepts and effects.CSS animation is used to add more effective and eye-catching website. At last, we'll see some certifiable utilization. CSS Animation Properties Before jumping into the subtle elements, how about setting up the fundamental CSS and learning CSS3 Animations: Animation is another CSS property that takes into consideration activity of most HTML components, (for example, div, h1 and compass) without Javascript or Flash. Right now, it's underpinned in Webkit programs, including Safari 4+, Safari for (ios 2+), Chrome 1+ and, all the more as of late, Firefox 5. Unsupported programs will just overlook your animation code, so guarantee that your page doesn't depend on it! Since the development is still moderately new, prefixes for the program merchants are needed. As such, the linguistic structure is precisely the same for every program, with just a prefix change needed. In the code cases beneath, the -webkit language structure has been used. The most recent Css3 properties have opened a large number of new routes to web originators and engineers.
