A Guide to Modern Web Development
Today's web technologies are evolving at near-light speed, bringing the promise of a seamless Internet ever closer to reality. When users can browse the Web on a three-inch phone screen as easily as on a fifty-inch HDTV, what's a developer to do?
Peter Gasston's The Modern Web will guide you through the latest and most important tools of device-agnostic web development, including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. His plain-English explanations and practical examples emphasize the techniques, principles, and practices that you'll need to easily transcend individual browser quirks and stay relevant as these technologies are updated.
Learn how to:
- Plan your content so that it displays fluidly across multiple devices
- Design websites to interact with devices using the most up-to-date APIs, including Geolocation, Orientation, and Web Storage
- Incorporate cross-platform audio and video without using troublesome plug-ins
- Make images and graphics scalable on high-resolution devices with SVG
- Use powerful HTML5 elements to design better forms
Turn outdated websites into flexible, user-friendly ones that take full advantage of the unique capabilities of any device or browser. With the help of The Modern Web, you'll be ready to navigate the front lines of device-independent development.

Free The Modern Web: Multi-Device Web Development with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript
The Modern Web by Peter Gasston is a state-of-the-art book that demonstrates the latest trends in HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript, aimed at modern browsers and multiple devices. Gasston outshines the market with his less than 250 page book that covers a large--more like massive-- spectrum of new features and includes an exciting chapter on publishing Web and hybrid apps for sale on various online sites.
It is important to note that the book is geared for advanced beginner to advanced designers/programmers and should be tackled after having reasonable background in Javascript. (A recommended Javascript resource for beginners (after reading HTML5 and CSS3) is John Pollock's Beginner Javascript book.)
One of Gasston's most riveting discussions is on features that are making the Web competitive with print, including a feature called "regions" (p. 200), which streams text and data through multiple columns that don't need to be in the natural flow of the Dom (so, in other words, it can stream from a div at the top of the page to one on the bottom right to the top right--not confined to a linear, sequential order).
Also, new and exciting for making the Web at least on par with print is the "exclusion" feature (p. 202), which takes an absolutely positioned element in a relatively positioned parent, and has the text and data of the relatively positioned parent both detect the absolutely positioned element and flow around it in a variety of optional ways.
Also exciting, on the horizon, is the matter of taking a div and giving it shape, such as circular, elliptical, and a customizable polygonal shapes.
