HTML5 is the latest iteration of the language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web, and is a core technology of the Internet originally proposed by Opera Software. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics of a document written in a markup language. It’s most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL.
Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS3 will guide users to understand what responsive design is, and why it’s essential to master HTML5, which is leaner, faster and more semantically rich than HTML 4.01. After learning how to integrate CSS3 media queries, allowing different styles to be presented for different media, users will learn how to build a flexible layout grid and present fluid images to provide complete design flexibility.
