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.

The power of CSS is mind-boggling; not only can we do amazing animations just with CSS, but CSS can also handle three-dimensional designs.

Let's check out the properties that allows us to do so.

The perspective CSS property defines the distance between the screen and the user in the Z axis, and it looks like this:

perspective: 300px;

Description

Keep in mind that the perspective property is applied to the parent element in order to enable a 3D canvas or space in which its child elements will move.

This property accepts a keyword value, normal, and a length value.

normal

No perspective is defined on the parent element.

Length value

This is when we use one of the following units: px, em, in, mm, cm, vw, and so on.

The lower the value, the closer the elements will move in the Z axis. Thus, the perspective is more pronounced. With higher values, the perspective effect is less intense.

CSS:

.parent...
