This edition expands JavaScript and CSS coverage while providing new content on server-side coding and the development stack.I give you a complete education on web coding and development. You learn how to set up the tools you need, how to use HTML and CSS to design and build your site, how to use JavaScript to program your pages, and how to use PHP and MySQL to program your web server. I show you that these technologies aren’t hard to learn and that even the greenest rookie programmers can learn how to put together web pages that will amaze their family and friends (and themselves).If you’re looking for lots of programming history, computer science theory, and long-winded explanations of concepts, you won’t find them here. My philosophy throughout this book comes from Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux operating system: “Talk is cheap. Show me the code.” I explain what needs to be explained and then I move on without further ado (or, most of the time, without any ado at all) to examples and scripts that do more to illuminate a concept than any verbose explanations I could muster (and believe me, I can muster verbosity with the best of them).Get essential knowledge of how web development works even if you’ve never written a line of code in your life.
