Front-End Back-End Development with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, and MySQL

A three-book set for web designers, front-end developers, and full-stack developers

This three-book set combines the popular titles

• HTML & CSS: Design and Build Web Sites (2011)
• JavaScript & jQuery: Interactive Front-End Development (2014)
• PHP & MySQL: Server-side Web Development (2022)

Together these three books form an ideal platform for anyone who wants to master HTML and CSS, step up to the additional front-end interactivity possible with JavaScript and jQuery, and build back-ends with features like content management and membership using PHP and MySQL. In combination, these skills are commonly referred to as “full-stack development”

HTML & CSS covers structure, text, links, images, tables, forms, useful options, adding style with CSS, fonts, colors, thinking in boxes, styling lists and tables, layouts, grids, and even SEO, Google analytics, ftp, and HTML5. JavaScript & jQuery offers an excellent combined introduction to these two technologies starting from how JavaScript changes an HTML page’s code and progressing to creating interactivity including sliders, tabbed panels, accordions, and sorting images. PHP & MySQL finishes a self-taught programmer curriculum with data-driven web sites for content management or online shops that use registration, search, sending emails, and tailoring pages to individual users.

• A handy three-book set that combines related skills
• Highly visual format and accessible language makes these books highly effective learning tools
• Perfect for beginning web designers, front-end developers, back-end developers, and full-stack developers
• Written by the best-selling author on HTML and JavaScript for the last decade

About The Author

Jon Duckett has been helping companies create innovative digital solutions for over 15 years, designing and delivering web and mobile projects for small businesses and tech startups through to global brands like Diesel, Philips, Nike, Wrangler, and Xerox.

Jon has not only written his his latest books HTML & CSS (design and build websites) and JavaScript & jQuery (interactive front end web development), but also designed the entire book from scratch. Dispensing with the traditional template of programming books, he wanted to present the information in a manner that is less intimidating and more relevant to those who have never tried to write code before. The result is a new, exciting way to learn about HTML, CSS and JavaScript presented in full-color, with plenty of info-graphics and photography that really make the title stand out from other books that cover the same topics.
