There’s a zombie gnawing on your arm! But there wouldn’t be if you threw some CSS in its face. Zombies loath web development and when you take those websites from skeletal HTML structures to fleshed out CSS beauties they’ll take out twice the zombies per site. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is how you add color, design and style to your website. What You'll Beat Zombies With You'll learn all the major zombie-fighting CSS skills like how to set colors, change fonts, create backgrounds, use the CSS box-model, move elements around and build two column layouts with floats and positioning. Your webpages will never again be as drab as a zombie's thought processes. How You'll Learn to Smack Zombies Around You won't just passively take in the view, like a zombie shuffling across the mainland. You’ll have plenty of combat practice with analogies, examples, and code tutorials you can build, break and fix again. Working with your hands and your head you’ll craft code that pleases the eye and knocks a zombie into last Tuesday. All the code and directions are provided as both codepen tutorials and downloadable html files, so you can fight the apocalypse how and where you like. You can work with them on the codepen site or on your own device. And later you'll bring those skills together in a final project that cements those skills into zombie smashing muscle memory. Why Zombies? Are zombies just a gimmick? Why would this be any better than a straight laced book that sticks to the facts? Straight laced books are often straight boring. And if you have insomnia problems go buy that book. The author, John, has read the boring books and knows that staying awake and engaged are also important for learning. But this book uses zombie references and analogies not just to make you smile, but to help the material stick. If a tough technical concept is related in silly terms you understand, like a zombie trying to buy gum at a super market, it’s much more likely to stay in that brain those zombies are intent on eating. We believe that good learning and good fun should co-exist, so if you want to save humanity from the apocalypse, grab your Kindle, grab a snack (everyone's hungry after the apocalypse) and hit that buy button. Let’s kick some zombie tookus!

Put those zombie fighting skills to the test with this workbook featuring PFC Wiggins’s side hustle and skills you’ve learned in the first six books from the Undead Institute. You’ll build a website for PFC Wiggins’s Unofficial Commissary, a source of cheese, “meat” and other goods for humanity’s compulsory, post-apocalyptic armed forces. With nothing but your wits and web skills you’ll take the website from a blank page through creating a fully functional, responsive website. You’ll be guided step by step through creating the underlying HTML, using CSS to add color and design and layout, addressing some usability issues, building forms, adding a CSS “boss” mode and converting the site into a responsive design so that it’ll work in any size browser. While anyone possessing a penchant for silliness and zombies with HTML and CSS knowledge should be able to build this website, the six books this workbook was made to accompany are - A Beginner’s Guide to Learning HTML (and Smacking Zombies Upside the Web Development) - Beginner CSS: Like Putting Lipstick on a Zombie - Beginner Usability: A Novice’s Guide to Zombie Proofing Your Website - HTML5 Forms & Interactive Elements: Or How to Poke a Zombie in the Eye - Advanced CSS: Zombie in a Cocktail Dress - Responsive Design: An Undead Introduction to Mobile Web Development Or if you bought them in their boxed set versions (same books, packaged differently) they go along with - My First Webpocalypse: A Beginner’s Guide to HTML, CSS, and Usability - Humanity’s Second Chance: HTML Forms, Advanced CSS, and Responsive Design So get off your keister and let’s start taking down some zombies!

Nothing takes down zombies like an HTML element on the move. This book takes a look at transitions, transformations and animations in CSS. You’ll learn how to trigger a simple transition and then how to create a longer, more complex movement or color change and more using keyframes, easing functions, delays, durations and much more. You’ll also keep your page running smoothly by learning the most performant ways to animate your page with transformations. But what if you have a client with a sensitivity to motion or someone who would simply prefer no or very little motion? Well we can meet those concerns with the prefers-reduced-motion media query. Best of all we’ll take a look at the tried and true twelve principle of animation as set out by some legendary Disney animators. We’ll apply those principles to the web, looking both at how those principles might apply to character animation on the web, but also how they apply to UI animation. So take those static zombie poking sites and turn them into zombie smacking tanks of human ingenuity. How You'll Learn to Smack Zombies Around You won't just passively take in the view, like a zombie shuffling across the mainland.

Build your first website from scratch and actually have fun doing it. This book walks you through the process, teaching you everything you need to know along the way. Plus we throw in lots of silly jokes and zombie references to keep you entertained and engaged. Learning doesn’t have to bore you to death (because then you might come back as a zombie and it’d just be messy). First we’ll look at HTML, the structure or skeleton of a webpage and all the different tags you can use to show off your content. Then we’ll dive into CSS, the look and feel or flesh and clothes of a webpage, and show you how to make changes to the font size, the colors, and the layout. Plus we provide all the content and images so all you have to do is follow along, build your first website, and then move on to post-apocalyptic domination. By the end of the book you'll have a website to hold in your (virtual) hands and show off to your Mom. She'll be very proud of you.

Nothing stops zombies better than HTML5 forms and interactive elements (not even a shotgun or a harsh talking to from their mother). These HTML5 tags are engaging, helpful and don’t require complicated coding. In short they’re like a bazooka to a shotgun, taking down zombies with ease, flair, and panache. What You'll Beat Zombies With You’ll take an in depth look at form fields like input, select, textarea, meter and progress and look at form capabilities like checkboxes, radio buttons, drop downs, and special text fields. We’ll look at the attributes added in HTML5 that can modify the form fields and even add interactivity to typically non-interactive fields. You’ll also look at different options for linking to things other than webpages like email addresses, phone numbers, and sending text messages. Lastly we’ll create interactive accordion menus using just HTML5 and our wits. How You'll Learn to Smack Zombies Around You won't just passively take in the view, like a zombie shuffling across the mainland. You’ll have plenty of combat practice with analogies, examples, and code tutorials you can build, break and fix again. Working with your hands and your head you’ll craft code that pleases the eye and knocks a zombie into last Tuesday.
