Chapter 1: Building a Solid Foundation

Based on my experiences and what I’ve learned from others, I’ve developed an effective, sensible approach to web development. This approach, along with a handful of smart techniques thrown in the mix, should minimize those head-bashing moments and ensure things run more smoothly right from the get-go all the way through to the launch of your next web site or application.

This chapter teaches you how to build a solid foundation of scalable, maintainable HTML and CSS code for your projects.
