New Releases by Andy Clarke

Microformats have been designed to give additional meaning to simple, widely-published types of data on the web. They add another layer of functionality to Web pages. You can use them to add structure and meaning to contact information about people and places, and to calendar information. You can mark up reviews of events or the relationships between people. You can even use them for blog posts and syndicated content. In this video, author and CSS guru Andy Clarke shows how to implement these simple, structured formats in HTML. He takes a design-based approach and provides a number of visual examples so that those with a less technical background can get started using microformats in their designs right away. He demonstrates these concepts using examples from a fictitious social networking site. This is an online streaming video, not a download.

Alors que le Web évolue pour intégrer de nouveaux standards et que les derniers navigateurs ouvrent de nouvelles voies créatives, l''art du design web est aussi en pleine mutation. Cependant, rares sont les designers web également expérimentés en programmation. Résultat : ils ne peuvent exploiter pleinement toutes les ressources à disposition, car balisage sémantique et CSS sont un frein à leur élan créatif. Andy Clarke a su identifier les difficultés auxquelles sont confrontés ces designers web à la sensibilité plus graphique que technique ; il propose ici aux artistes du Web une approche progressive afin de conjuguer créativité, fonctionnalité et accessibilité dans la conception de leurs sites. Pour cela, les CSS offrent un cadre indispensable, mais il s''agit de s''en affranchir pour les transcender. Dans cet ouvrage révolutionnaire, unique en son genre, vous découvrirez comment implémenter des designs originaux, tout en mettant à profit les possibilités créatives du balisage et des feuilles de style. Vous apprendrez à mettre en place un nouveau workflow, construire des prototypes, utiliser efficacement des grilles, visualiser les balises, etc. Vous " transcenderez " CSS, qu''il s''agisse d''employer les derniers navigateurs prenant en charge la troisième version de cette norme, de collaborer efficacement avec les membres de l''équipe, ou bien plus encore. Ecrit et relu par les " gourous " du domaine que sont Andy Clarke et Molly E. Holzschlag, cet ouvrage : adopte une approche visuelle pour mieux vous enseigner les techniques de programmation ; propose de nombreux exemples de sites web, de photographies et d''autres sources d''inspiration donnant aux artistes des idées pour visualiser leur code ; évoque en avant-première les avancées techniques des nouveaux navigateurs et de la spécification CSS 3, en cours d''élaboration.
