True, but more and more web designers are going to need to know a bit about how the web actually functions (or so I hope). As a developer, I would prefer to work with web designers who know a bit about HTML and JS coding as opposed to just doing graphics. Otherwise the book should be titled HTML5 for Designers - or am I hoping for too much?
- jacobolus 16y agoA book, written by a web designer, for web designers, does not need to get into the matrix math involved in coordinate transformations of the canvas tag, database denormalization for use with Web SQL, writing a back-end server to integrate with WebSocket or Server-Sent Events, &c., or in general how to write complex in-browser apps, &c. That would dramatically expand the scope of the book, and distract from its core topic. There are much better resources about those topics. Those who care can easily buy a second book.
- PStamatiou 16y agoYou're obviously being a bit dramatic here - there is a difference between covering the basics of these JS browser APIs such as how to do simple things like fetch location with navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition, compared to writing a back-end server to integrate with WebSockets..
