Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS

The Fundamentals of Responsive Web Design

This first section is described as fundamental, as it is the section on which the other two build. In Chapter 1, The Essentials of Responsive Web Design, we will create our first fully responsive website. In Chapter 2, Writing HTML Markup, we are going to understand how to express meaning through markup. Avoid understanding HTML elements at your peril! Many problems in web development, even among seasoned developers, can be avoided simply by using structured and semantic markup. Finally, in Chapter 3, Media Queries and Container Queries, we will learn how to encapsulate styles that only apply in certain eventualities, functionality that’s a cornerstone of responsive web design. The final two chapters, Fluid Layout and Flexbox, and Layout with CSS Grid, conclude this first section, covering the two most powerful layout methods available to us in modern web design, Flexbox and Grid.

If you feel these are topics you already have a strong grasp of, go right ahead and skip to the next section. Otherwise, take the time to deeply understand these fundamentals before moving on. With the fundamentals understood, everything that comes later – in this book, and in your web adventures – will be so much easier to achieve.

I did not read any of the previous editions of this book, but since it is a fourth edition, it is clear the responsive web design took over the digital world and here to stay. This publication in my view is the most up to date and complete one on the responsive web design as guide and how to.The material is covered by the author very extensively, it goes into very powerful and I would say probably somewhat not so known elements and aspects of CSS to some developers. Not known in a positive sense though as the often overlooked items may come suddenly handy.Some of my picks: the Flex Box, CSS filters, SMIL animations and 3D transformations.Favourite chapter: CSS Color - a seemingly simple concept with so powerful options!The book has a companion Github repo so you can work through the examples and create variations of some elements that you can find useful or interesting to experiment with.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I went into this book hoping the author would provide plenty of coverage on CSS Grid, and it didn't disappoint! Most of the book was a review of topics I’m well versed in, but I’ve had limited exposure to CSS Grid, and the author did a great job explaining when and how to use them.If that's a topic you're interested in, this is a great resource to learn more. Of course, there's also a chapter dedicated to Flexbox as well.I'm surprised at just how many topics this book covers. Selectors, typography, filters, masking, SVGs, transitions, transforms, animations, forms, and even some cutting-edge features of CSS like nesting.If you want a refresher on any of these topics, I recommend considering this book. It will also be great to have as a reference.

I am a designer that used to do a lot of web-dev many moons ago, but haven't touched any of it in a long timeRecently I've made the decision to get re-acquainted with it and bought this to fill in any gaps in my knowledgeIn this day and age it is really hard finding actual BOOKS on these topics rather than online learning, books suit my a lot better as I can't easily do online courses on my commute to work... so I'm glad Ben took the time to write thisQuite a bit has changed in the years where I've not been coding, like flexbox and grids... this book was the perfect reference to let me know what I've missed, aswell as reminding me of things that I'd forgotten about!

I was already familiar with parts of Ben Frain's "Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS," having found an older edition in a library and used it in several projects. So I am pleased to see this new fourth edition. It covers numerous new topics, including recent CSS developments, as well as other changes and new capabilities in web design.The writing is clear, the code examples illustrate the author's how-to efforts, and the book's structure seems very logical to me. Frain's fourth edition is organized into three sections. The first section, "Fundamentals of Responsive Web Design," introduces the reader to topics such as HTML markup, media and container queries, fluid layout, flexbox, and layout with CSS Grid.The second section's title is "Core Skills for Effective Front-End Web Development." Its eight chapters dig deeper into CSS and web typography, responsive images, CSS functions, and several other topics.The third section has just two chapters, but one of them examines cutting-edge CSS features, and the other chapter offers helpful advice and information for web designers and web designers who also do web development.One key recommendation by Frain that I've found helpful in my own efforts is to "get designs up and running in a browser environment as soon as possible." In other words, don't try to perfect the design first before testing it. Responsive web design can bring a lot of moving parts and moving features to a website. It's definitely been better in my efforts to start small and keep testing over and over as elements are added, subtracted, or replaced.My thanks to Packt Publishing for sending an advance reader's copy of this book.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
