Web development is constantly changing, and you need to stay on top of your game. Discover a wide spectrum of web development techniques in this completely updated edition. We introduce new tools, add new recipes, and modernize old ones.

Use Vagrant to automate server setup, script the deployment of your web project with Grunt, and build a single-page app with Angular. Make content stand out with simple cross-browser styles, and create lightweight, responsive layouts. We’ll show you how to use preprocessors such as CoffeeScript and Sass, write tests for your code, collaborate with Git and Dropbox, configure and secure the Apache web server, set up your own servers automatically with virtualization, and much more.

You’ll become a more versatile developer by finding out how – and why – to use these solutions in your next project.


Web Development Recipes’ real skill is in giving you enough ammunition to try new things, and to then inspire you to explore and take things further on your own.”
