With knowledge of CSS and HTML, you can build visually appealing, interactive websites without relying on website-building tools that come with lots of pre-packaged restrictions.

Exploring how the browser renders websites from code to display, you'll advance to adding a cinematic experience to your website by incorporating video and audio elements into your code. You'll also use JavaScript to add interactivity to your site, integrate HTML forms for capturing user data, incorporate animations to create slick transitions, and build stunning themes using advanced CSS.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

A pragmatic, thoughtful and superb presentation. This volume provides a map of novel applications of the CSS and HTLM Paradigm.

This is an excellent advanced web programming book. So far, I'm using it as a reference. It could also be used in a classroom. I'm glad I bought the Kindle version so I can search instantly. Yes, I recommend it.

The Packt HTML and CSS Workshop is a great reference book for both beginners and experienced web designers and developers. It is chock full of information,including many activities to immerse yourself fully in coding your own site. The CSS section covers all you need to know about CSS, the box model, and flexand grid layouts. Many people, myself included, like to skip wireframing altogether, but thought it is very basic, it is also very needed to know where youare heading with the layout and design. There is a small section on wireframing in this book, which is helpful in reminding me to always mock up my sites.Other sections of the book cover text, fonts, media queries for mobile, media, audio and video, and animations. Another critical aspect of good design isaccessibilty, and the book covers that as well. I thought the book was, overall, very helpful and informative for anyone with a desire to learn HTML and CSS,and the art of creating not only great looking, but also functional websites and apps.

Learning HTML and CSS together makes sense and helps to ease the boredom of starting with only HTML. The topic content is kept to a tolerable level and exercises seem to be presented just in time to break up any monotony.Additionally, the exercises are written to make one think, as there is very minimal hand-holding (thank you!). After all, who wants to just "type what I tell you?" End of chapter Activities build upon what was taught by challenging one to perform the task by presenting the final output and listing only general tasks to reach the goal. Solutions are thoughtfully provided in case one is stuck working on an activity.I suggest using Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) searches to work through any ambiguities, errors, or missing content that one will encounter, or to just reinforce a topic.The Video Store activity is interesting, but I wish it was presented more cohesively — as a main project — throughout the book.There was Javascript — and way too much of it in what was expected to be an introduction to HTML and CSS. Please, save the Javascript for a different book!Also, too little training was provided on the basics of colors. I would highly recommend that Chapter 5: Themes, Colors, and Polish be replaced with something more to the point of the discussion of colors. This chapter was too complicated and seemed as if the author just wanted to plug his site or otherwise show readers his Wordpress prowess.My personal recommendation for the 2nd Edition is to remove Chapters 10, 11, 12, and 13 (those belong in an Advanced CSS/SCSS publication); replace Chapter 5 with a simpler discussion of colors; eliminate the Canvas topic from Chapter 7 and rewrite other sections of the chapter as needed to remove Javascript usage.This recommendation would allow for the expansion of the other chapters by allowing the addition of more exercises and explanatory text. Also, explanatory comments within the code samples would be welcomed.Hopefully, the 2nd Edition will focus more on HTML and CSS as "Ideal for those who are looking to get started," and less on Javascript.
