Another great HTML5 book

[caption id=“attachment_574” align=“alignleft” width=“150”] A great book to get started with HTML and CSS.

I was the technical editor for this book. So all the errors you find that are technical in nature are my fault. :-) Of course, if you do find errors, there isn’t much I can do about them now.

Seriously, I read this book cover to cover and it’s got a lot of information well packaged in a way that you will be familiar with if you’ve read my HTML5 book.

Julie Meloni has an easy style of writing and makes it fun to learn about HTML and CSS. You should pick up a copy for your friends who want to get into web design

how do i go about building mobile apps? what do i need to get started? where can i find or get the possible requirements. Thank you.

Hi @Tessie: your questions don’t really have a simple answer, at least not one I can condense into a blog comment. :-) But here’s my attempt. Perhaps others might have other answers: building mobile apps - well, first of all, I cover that in the book in great detail. So buying a copy or checking it out of your local library is a good step. But my book only covers creating web applications. You can also learn Objective C and build native iOS apps or Java and build native Android apps. Both of which will probably take a while. what do you need to get started? the minimum you need is a computer and the will to try things out. I have a lot of information on my About.com website that can help you learn how to build mobile web applications. And there are tons of other resources online as well. Beyond that, learning to program as I mentioned above is a good start or you can work on creating dynamic web applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I hope that helps, Jennifer

[caption id=“attachment_569” align=“aligncenter” width=“300”] Sass or RWD?

I am working on a book proposal for my next book, but I need your help. I can’t decide what I want to write about. I’m considering:

Responsive web design - where I would explain what it is, how to do it, tools that can help, and problems with the design This would be a book for advanced beginners and intermediate web designers who know HTML and some CSS but want to get more familiar with media queries and responsive design.
SASS - where I would explain how you can turn your CSS into something dynamic and exciting using SASS SASS is a CSS extension and this book would be for people who are already familiar with CSS and want to create more dynamic and interesting sites using SASS.

What do you think I should write my next book about? If you’d rather I write about something else, please let me know in the comments.
