Table of Contents

Conceptual Lessons

Before jumping into instructions, in-depth comprehensive conceptual information tells students “why” skills are applied. This book provides the “how” and “why” through the use of professional examples. Also included in the text are tips and sidebars to help students work more efficiently and creatively, or to teach a bit about the history or design philosophy behind the skill they are using.

Each chapter begins with a visual overview of the Tools You’ll Use within the chapter.

Tools You'll Use

Each lesson starts with a What You’ll Do figure. This figure gives students an at-a-glance look at what’s to come in the chapter either by showing you a file from the current project or a tool you’ll be using.

What You'll Do

Lessons walk through each process, step-by-step with detailed images, icons, tips and notes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Skills Reference

The Skills Reference table is an invaluable tool – these keyboard shortcuts show students the easiest and quickest methods of completing tasks covered in the chapter. They’re in the same spot in every chapter, so these are easy to find if a student needs to refresh their memory.

Skills Review

Skills Review exercises are included at the end of each chapter and contain hands-on practice exercises that mirror the progressive nature of the lesson material.

Two Project Builder exercises are featured at the end of each chapter. These exercises require students to apply the skills learned in the chapter. Includes finished example of the project.

Project Builder

Design Project

A Design Project is featured at the end of each chapter. The Design Project tests the student’s ability to design a piece of finished work. The student’s work will not look exactly the same as the image in the book as students are encouraged to take artistic license in creating their work.

Portfolio Project

Portfolio Projects are included at the end of each chapter and encourage students to solve challenges based on the content explored in the chapter. These projects differ from other projects and lessons in the text because strategies and methods for achieving the finished product are suggested rather than following a step-by-step approach.

This method allows students to utilize skills learned in the book and pick up some new tips and tricks along the way

Extensive data files—including HTML files, text, images, Flash content, and video content—are included with the text to engage students and give them the tools they need to develop a Web site from start to finish.
