The Modern WebMulti-Device Web Development with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScriptPeter Gasston

 Peter Gasston’s new book can help you get an improved grasp on three important, device-agnostic tools that will be essential to your work and career development. They are: HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, that not-so-simple programming language that many new web specialists often try to avoid learning. (That’s because, typically, it’s easier, more fun and a bit lesscryptic to work with HTML5 and CSS3.)

 By the way, “websites” is simply a shorthand term the author uses “to avoid repetition. The features you’ll learn from this book are relevant to websites, web applications, [and] packaged HTML hybrid applications–in short, anything that can use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.”

His 243-page book contains many short, useful code examples and illustrations, and is excellent for developers who have at least a little bit of experience with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript but aren’t sure where and how to focus their energies and attention for the rapidly changing career road ahead.

The Modern Web offers a well-organized introduction, plus 11 chapters:

1. The Web Platform
2. Structure and Semantics
3. Device Responsive CSS
4. New Approaches to CSS Layouts
5. Modern JavaScript
6. Device APIs
7. Images and Graphics
8. New Forms
9. Multimedia
10. Web Apps
11. The Future

There also are two appendices: Browser Support as of March 2013 and Further Reading.

Peter Gasston has been a web developer for more than 12 years, and his previous book isThe Book of CSS3.
