Book Description

Building an elegant, functional website requires more than just knowing how to code. You’ll learn how to use progressive enhancement to build websites that work anywhere, won't break, are accessible by anyone - on any device - and are designed to work well into the future.

This book frames the web design process in the lens of progressive enhancement. You will learn how content strategy, UX, HTML, CSS, responsive web design, JavaScript, server-side programming, and performance optimization all come together in the service of users on whatever device they happen to use to access the web.

Understanding progressive enhancement will make you a better web professional, whether you’re a content strategist, information architect, UX designer, visual designer, front-end developer, back-end developer, or project manager.
