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.

Fonts

In the world of design, fonts are one of the most powerful assets we have, and at the same time, they are one of the most underappreciated ones.

Typography is so powerful that when we use it correctly, we may even get away with not using a single image in our project.

Let's take a look at the CSS font properties, shall we?

font-family

The font-family CSS property defines the font we want an element to use, and looks like this:

font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, Baskerville, Georgia, serif;

Description

This property can hold one or multiple font names in its declaration. There is no limit as to how many font names it can hold; however, it is not only very unlikely to list more than four or five fonts, but it's also unnecessary.

The font family names are separated by commas. We call this the font stack. The browser will read the font stack and use the first one in the stack, if it can't find it or download it, it will move on to the next font family name and so on until it's able to use...
