Web Developer's Reference Guide

By: Joshua Johanan, Talha Khan, Ricardo Zea

Overview of this book

This comprehensive reference guide takes you through each topic in web development and highlights the most popular and important elements of each area. Starting with HTML, you will learn key elements and attributes and how they relate to each other. Next, you will explore CSS pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, followed by CSS properties and functions. This will introduce you to many powerful and new selectors. You will then move on to JavaScript. This section will not just introduce functions, but will provide you with an entire reference for the language and paradigms. You will discover more about three of the most popular frameworks today—Bootstrap, which builds on CSS, jQuery which builds on JavaScript, and AngularJS, which also builds on JavaScript. Finally, you will take a walk-through Node.js, which is a server-side framework that allows you to write programs in JavaScript.

Images


We can add classes to an <img> element for image manipulation using built-in CSS styles:

<img src="..." alt="..." class="img-rounded">
<img src="..." alt="..." class="img-circle">
<img src="..." alt="..." class="img-thumbnail">

The preceding code will create the following images:

Note

Note that Internet Explorer 8 lacks support for rounded corners in images.

Icons (Glyphicons)

Glyphicons are small icons used to help the user understand the meaning of a function. For example, an e-mail will have an envelope icon, search would have a magnifying glass icon, and so on. Some Glyphicons are shown in the following diagram:

More than 250 Glyphicons in font format are present in the Glyphicon Halflings set. Here is how to add Glyphicons in Bootstrap:

<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>

Note

All the available Glyphicons can be found at http://getbootstrap.com/components/.
