Sinopse:
Web design is more than arranging HTML and CSS, and this primer makes that breadth explicit. Its sequence starts with files, links, markup, semantic structure, and styling, then expands into image optimization, video, animation, JavaScript, libraries, and publishing to a web server. The later chapters take an unexpected cross-media turn through digital book production, photography, Photoshop workflows, and app creation for iOS. Written for a one-semester introductory course, the material favors short explanations and guided practice over encyclopedic detail. Readers learn how content moves from local files to the web, how media choices affect delivery and presentation, and how design tools fit into a broader production workflow. Tutorials and references make it useful both in a classroom and for independent study. Beginners who want a compact map of front-end and digital production work will find a practical starting point here. Some tools reflect the period in which the course was assembled, but the underlying lessons about structure, assets, semantics, optimization, and publishing remain valuable. The cross-media perspective also helps readers see web pages not as isolated screens, but as part of a larger ecosystem of formats and creative decisions.
