The book focuses on making better tables by using responsive design and HTML5 features. Responsive design methods include view/hide columns by means of a button or automatically when a smaller screen is detected (i.e., mobile device), converting tables to graphs (i.e., pie chart), converting tables from matrix form to a paragraph form (easier to read in a tiny screen), loading the table dynamically via JSON and make the table grow upon user request via buttons such as "load more data".Tables in HTML should no longer be done the old-way. HTML5 offers features for header, footer, and headings that combined with CSS can make tables look much better as well as having cleaner code (both in HTML and CSS). The books shows how this can be done but also illustrates what can be done with CSS3 in tables, such as formatting odd and even rows differently.Nowadays it is easy to find JavaScript codes that so something 'responsive' on tables. The book walks you through a few such codes, carefully selected, that for example, give the user the option to show/hide columns. From the web-designer point of view, only a few lines get added into a CSS, and by including a JavaScript then magic happens on your tables. The examples worked on my tables just as described in the book. In addition, you can mark which columns are essential and which ones are optional, so that a mobile device having a smaller screen could only show the essential ones automatically. The book is well-versed in "mobile first" development.As you go deep into the book, you'll learn how to convert a table dynamically into paragraphs in order to benefit the mobile user having a small screen. I really did enjoy the codes that convert a table to a pie-chart. In one website I maintain, such graphs are not needed but I which they were because they add so much color and liveliness to otherwise plain tables.One feature explained in the book that my web-designer would love, is that of automatically populating a table from a JSON file, so that the HMTL code is smaller. Even more, the table can grow upon user request by means of a "load more data" button that would facilitate reading a larger table in a mobile device.Instead of just giving you various recipes, the book also includes an all-at-once example, where various of the responsive-design scenarios already mentioned, are then integrated into one working example.On the not-so-great side, the book is about tables and only tables. This would not be a book to learn to use JSON file with JavaScript because its audience is the person that wants to `update' the way tables are displayed online, in particular, with the mobile user always being considered. It is also a book that assumes you are familiar with basic HTML, and I'd say that even with no hands-on knowledge of JavaScript, the examples in the book can be implemented in a live-website without problems.Disclaimer: I was provided with a electronic copy of the book for review. It is a concise book, consisting of approx. 50 with code samples and screenshots. The source codes are available at the publisher's website.

Instant HTML5 Responsive Table Design How-to is a brief and to the point presentation on the technique of using fluid design with tables to achieve websites that work across different browsers and devices. There are actually three parts to responsive web design, the other two are CSS media queries and RESS (server side components). Neither CSS media queries or RESS are covered in this book. Rather, the author has chosen to focus on using fluid design via tables. The book is divided into lessons each labeled beginner, intermediate or advanced. Each lesson is preceded by a description of the goal for the lesson which makes it clear what the lesson is about. In general, I think that the lessons are very well laid out. One problem with this book, however, is that the various aspects of responsive web design cannot be completely separated. For example the author makes use of CSS media queries at several points in the book without going into detail as to what they are about. Ultimately, though, I found this book to be very useful. Responsive web design is a large topic and it is nice to have it broken down into bit sized pieces. In the end, you can't really make much use of the presentation layer of responsive web design (CSS) until you have something to put the presentation on (layout) and how to do layout is the focus of this book.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
