Overview of this book

CSS is the preferred technology to design modern web pages. Although CSS is often perceived as a simple language, applying modern styles to web pages with CSS and maintaining the code for larger websites can be quite tricky. We will take you right from understanding CSS to designing high-quality web pages in CSS3. We'll quickly take you through CSS3's features, and show you how to resolve common issues so you can build your basic framework. Finally, you will learn about code architecture and CSS methodologies used in scalable apps and you'll explore the various new features of CSS3, such as FlexBox, to help you create the most modern layout methodologies. By the end of the book, you will be a master at creating pure CSS web pages and will know sophisticated web design techniques, giving you an edge over other web designers.

Jade as your templating engine

Writing HTML files can be problematic in the case of bigger projects. The maintenance of repeatable elements of a page, such as main navigation footer sidebars, can be a problem when you need to work with, for example, 10 files. Each time you want to change something in the footer, you will need to update 10 files. The situation becomes more complicated when a project has 50 templates. You can start using, for example, PHP or any language that includes files with repeatable parts of code or use one of the template languages. There are multiple templating systems. Some of the well-known and trendy ones are listed here:

  • Handlebars

npm install jade --global
