JavaScript for Absolute Beginners Book Description
Innovative JavaScript behaviors are the hallmark of Web 2.0 interface designs. Visit Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, or any other web titan, and you will find JavaScript implementations providing a smooth, tactile, engaging web experience. Knowledge of JavaScript is essential for developing modern, interactive, sticky web sites, but many beginners are put off by the daunting need to learn a programming language before they can achieve anything.

This book takes a practical approach by showing you how to use JavaScript in simple stages, starting with the basics of storing and manipulating data and moving on to reacting to events and using JavaScript to alter CSS and HTML on the fly. It assumes no prior knowledge of JavaScript, and avoids bombarding you with unnecessary technical details.

At the same time, it explains the main points and acts as a reference that you can come back to when you need to refresh your memory. More advanced concepts are introduced gradually, so that by the end of the book you'll have a solid understanding of all the main aspects of JavaScript. Particular attention is paid to debugging and avoiding common beginners' pitfalls, enabling you to create web sites that not only look good, but are dynamic and exciting for visitors.

Requires no previous knowledge of JavaScript
Gives you instant results—starts showing how to change values and react to events stage by stage
Doesn't bombard you with endless rules and jargon

What you'll learn

How to immediately improve the feel of your entire web site by reacting to the user's input with just a few lines of code
How to store and control data to improve your viewer's experience
How to change the look of your web site on the fly by manipulating the CSS markup
How to search XHTML documents to retrieve and display relevant data in real time
How to use cookies to store data on users' machines to remember their preferences the next time they visit your site
How to use Ajax to change the content of your web site without the need to refresh the page

Who is this book for?
This book is aimed at anybody who wants to learn how to use JavaScript to create more interactive and stickier web sites. The primary readership is likely to be independent web developers and serious hobbyists, but knowledge of JavaScript is essential for many web development careers, so this book should also find a place in the curriculum of academic courses in media studies.

A Practical Guide to Designing with Data Book Description
In recent years, the terms Visualization, Infographic and others have been bantered around with almost no regard to their use or meaning. There is a new vernacular emerging in the realms of data representations, but that doesn't mean we can ignore the much simpler origins and best practices of charts and graphs.

Brian Suda takes you on a journey through the basics and makes it easy to produce beautiful looking, accurate representations of data. He'll walk you through how to visualize and design data in such a way that it engages the reader and tells a story rather than just being flashy, cluttered and confusing.

Who should read this book?
If you’ve ever been asked to produce a chart or graph, you should read this book. If you’re a researcher, designer, developer, UX designer, IA, product owner or web app owner you can get a lot out of this book and take your visualisations to the next level.

Designing web app dashboards
Presenting research
Visualising user activity in your web app or service
Designing complex user relationships
Creating accurate, thought-provoking presentations
Enriching your web app or service with data visualisations

If you can master the basics, then more complex designs become easier to create. In this book, you'll learn to design charts that focus on the data, avoiding unnecessary distractions and not mis-representing the information to the readers.

This book is a practical guide to designing with data. By the end of this book, you will have a firm grasp on the types of charts, which are best at representing different types of data and how to tell your story in a beautifully elegant way.

Topics include:
Part 1 : The visual language of data
A brief history of charts and graphs; Dynamic and static charts; The Golden Ratio (and other ratios); Chart Junk.

Part 2 : Colour and ink
Data to pixel ratio; How to draw attention to the data; Using colour.

Hardboiled Web Design Book Description
If you've been working on the web for a while, your bookshelves may already be buckling under the weight of books about HTML and CSS. Do you really need another one?

Hardboiled Web Design is different. It's for people who want to understand why, when and how to use the latest HTML5 and CSS3 technologies in their everyday work. Not tomorrow or next week, but today. It won't teach you the basics of writing markup or CSS, but if you're hungry to learn about how the latest technologies and techniques will make your websites and applications more creative, flexible and adaptable, then this is the book for you.

Are you ready to get hardboiled?

Who should read this book?
If you care about markup, you're in for a treat because we focus on how to use the new semantic elements contained within HTML5 right now. We also cover microformats and WAI-ARIA landmark roles, looking at how they'll reduce your reliance on presentational elements and attributes, as well as making your websites and applications more useful without doing anything more than writing HTML.

If you're a designer who wants to learn the creative opportunities offered by CSS3, this book will teach you how to use CSS3 in browsers that support its new properties, and offers a fresh perspective on how to handle older, less capable browsers. You'll need to be willing to leave your preconceptions at the door, and hungry to learn about how using HTML5 and CSS3 will change the way you design and develop for the web. Is your foot on the accelerator? Buckle up, let's go.

Topics include:
Part 1: Getting hardboiled
In Getting hardboiled, you'll learn about what it means to be hardboiled. You'll discover why we need to re-evaluate concepts such as progressive enhancement and find out the cold, hard truths about how standards are really developed. You'll find out why websites cannot, need not and should not look the same in every browser and what this means for us and the people we work for. Above all else, you'll learn that change isn't coming, it's already here.

Part 2: Hardboiled HTML
In Hardboiled HTML, you'll learn about HTML5 — the latest version of HTML that brings with it new semantic elements. You'll also discover microformats — simple markup patterns for making data machine-readable — and investigate WAI-ARIA Roles. All of these will reduce your reliance on presentational elements and attributes. Get ready, it's time to make your HTML hardboiled.

Part 3: Hardboiled CSS3
In Hardboiled CSS3, you'll learn about web fonts for better type and typography, how to layer colour with RGBa and how to use opacity. You'll discover how use CSS3 multiple background images and how to make borders rounded and full of images. You'll wind up knowing how to replace many images with CSS3 gradients to make your designs lighter and more flexible. Your world may never be quite the same again.

Part 4: More hardboiled CSS3
In More hardboiled CSS3, you'll learn about how to translate, scale, rotate and skew elements using CSS transforms in two and three dimensions. You'll find out how to make state changes smoother with a host of CSS transitions, and finish off by discovering animations in CSS: an emerging standard that has already caught the eye of many of today's top web designers.

It starts off with recipes dealing with the basics of Drupal’s theme system: you will find recipes for solving all your problems with regions and blocks. It then moves on to advanced topics such as creating a custom theme and using it to modify the layout and style of the content that is output on a page. A substantial number of recipes are dedicated to Drupal’s template system, which will provide you with a solid foundation in order to override the output of Drupal and contributed modules. Furthermore, as the combination of modules such as CCK, Views, and Panels is so widely prevalent, chapters have been dedicated for each of these modules. With this book, you’ll learn to get the most out of Drupal’s templating system and its modules to create rich designs for your site.
