Wide-ranging, easy-to-follow, practical By Jordan Pratt I was one of the tech reviewers for this book and I work as an instructional assistant with both authors at Mount Royal University, supporting the kinds of students this book was written for.
There are lots and lots! The layout is appealing, with enough white space and color highlighting to avoid the oh-look-a-wall-of-text effect. As the book description blurb says here on Amazon, it "is appropriate for students who have taken a CS1 course sequence", so if you're totally new to programming, things are going to get confusing once the later chapters start tossing php and javascript code your way.
This isn't surprising, given this is meant to be a textbook for students past their first semester. I actually think it's a bit of a shame this is being plugged only as a textbook, as I honestly believe that anyone with some developing experience who is interested in getting into webdev would be well-served by this book - I personally learned many things reviewing the book. The css sections on the box model and the cascade - two topics which I've seen many students struggle with over 10 years of helping them here at MRU - are particularly well done.
Each chapter ends with the usual textbook content a. All chapters - except the first one on how the web works - also have projects of varying difficulty to practice the concepts covered in the chapter. I really liked these projects, as I found them very hands-on and sufficiently meaty, particularly ones past the first few introductory chapters. I can see students hitting a real-world problem after graduating, or during summer employment, and going back to these projects later for reference.
A wealth of content covering technologies and skills needed for modern web development By Firebuilder As an instructor teaching web development at the university level, I am always on the lookout for textbooks that adequately cover modern web technologies.
This one does and does it well. With all the new technologies that have appeared on the web scene in the last 3 years, academic publishers have had a difficult time keeping up with the fast pace of change.
Rails 4 Application Development. Web Development with Go. Mobile JavaScript Application Development. Fundamentals of Python. Test-Driven Development with Python. Moodle E-Learning Course Development.
