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 grid system


Use rows and columns to create a grid of a specific size and add data to it. Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind:

  • Horizontal groups of columns can be created using rows. Insert data in columns, and only columns may be immediate children of rows.

Padding is used by columns for creating gutters. That cushioning is counterbalanced in lines for the first and the last section by means of negative edge on .lines. Initiate columns by specifying the number columns. Not more than 12 columns can be initiated in a row, all extra columns will jump on a new line. Grid classes apply to devices with screen widths greater than or equal to the breakpoint sizes, and overrides grid classes targeted at smaller devices.
