Web Design
Philippe Hong
Web design is the process of creating websites. It encompasses several different aspects, including webpage layout, content production, and graphic design. This book offers you everything you need to know to build your websites. The book starts off by explaining the importance of web design and the basic design components used in website development. It'll show you insider tips to work quickly and efficiently with web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, concluding with a project on creating a static site with good layout. Once you've got that locked down, we'll get our hands dirty by diving straight into learning JavaScript and JQuery, ending with a project on creating dynamic content for your website. After getting our basic website up and running with the dynamic functionalities you'll move on to building your own responsive websites using more advanced techniques such as Bootstrap. Later you will learn smart ways to add dynamic content, and modern UI techniques such as Adaptive UI and Material Design. This will help you understand important concepts such as server-side rendering and UI components. Finally we take a look at various developer tools to ease your web development process.

For years, the speed and power of web apps has lagged behind native applications. Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) aim to solve this by bridging the gap between the web apps and native apps, delivering a host of exciting features. Simultaneously, React is fast becoming the go-to solution for building modern web UIs, combining ease of development with performance and capability. Using React alongside PWA technology will make it easy for you to build a fast, beautiful, and functional web app.After an introduction and brief overview of the goals of PWAs, the book moves on to setting up the application structure. From there, it covers the Webpack build process and the process of creating React components. You'll learn how to set up the backend database and authentication solution to communicate with Firebase and how to work with React Router. Next, you will create and configure your web app manifest, making your PWA installable on mobile devices. Then you'll get introduced to service workers and see how they work as we configure the app to send push notifications using Firebase Cloud Messaging. We'll also explore the App Shell pattern, a key concept in PWAs and look at its advantages regarding efficient performance. Finally, you'll learn how to add of?ine capabilities to the app with caching and confirm your progress by auditing your PWA with Lighthouse. Also, you'll discover helper libraries and shortcuts that will help you save time and understand the future of PWA development.
Projektowanie nawigacji strony WWW. Optymalizacja funkcjonalności witryny
James Kalbach
Sekrety sukcesu witryn WWW W jaki sposób użytkownicy przeglądają witryny WWW? Jak wykorzystać różne typy mechanizmów nawigacyjnych? W jaki sposób dobrać kolorystykę i liternictwo elementów nawigacyjnych? Dynamiczny rozwój internetu i technologii sieciowych sprawił, że korzystanie z sieci stało się równie powszechne jak oglądanie telewizji i czytanie gazet. Poprzez witryny WWW zdobywamy niezbędne informacje, zamawiamy towary, płacimy rachunki i kontaktujemy się z przyjaciółmi. Co sprawia, że wśród setek tysięcy serwisów internetowych posiadających podobne możliwości jedne cieszą się popularnością użytkowników, a inne nie? Na pewno na atrakcyjność strony WWW wpływa grafika i treść, ale przede wszystkim jej funkcjonalność. Natomiast o wygodzie korzystania ze niej decyduje nawigacja, czyli sposób, w jaki uzyskujemy potrzebne informacje, przechodzimy pomiędzy stronami i wybieramy interesujące tematy. Współczesne techniki tworzenia witryn WWW - Flash, AJAX i inne - pozwalają na kreowanie niezwykle atrakcyjnych interfejsów użytkownika, ale kluczem do sukcesu jest właśnie odpowiedni projekt struktury nawigacyjnej. Książka "Projektowanie nawigacji strony WWW. Optymalizacja ergonomii witryny " to podręcznik, który ułatwi poznanie i zastosowanie w praktyce zasad projektowania ergonomicznych i efektownych mechanizmów nawigacyjnych na stronach WWW. Czytając go, dowiesz się, czego oczekują użytkownicy stron WWW, jakie schematy nawigacji stosuje się najczęściej i jak dobrać typ nawigacji do przeznaczenia i treści witryny. Nauczysz się analizować cele witryny, tworzyć prototypy i scenariusze nawigacji, określać ścieżki nawigacji i budować elementy menu. Przeczytasz także o projektowaniu interfejsów użytkownika dla aplikacji sieciowych oraz łączeniu mechanizmów nawigacyjnych z wyszukiwawczymi. Podstawowe cele mechanizmów nawigacji w witrynie WWW Teoretyczne modele wyszukiwania Typy mechanizmów nawigacyjnych Metody analizy i oceny projektu nawigacji Tworzenie prototypów i ścieżek nawigacji Dobór kolorów, czcionek i stylów dla elementów nawigacyjnych Mechanizmy wyszukiwawcze Znakowanie treści w portalach społecznościowych Interfejsy użytkownika w aplikacjach internetowych Twórz przejrzyste i wygodne mechanizmy nawigacyjne.
pytest Quick Start Guide. Write better Python code with simple and maintainable tests
Bruno Oliveira
Python's standard unittest module is based on the xUnit family of frameworks, which has its origins in Smalltalk and Java, and tends to be verbose to use and not easily extensible.The pytest framework on the other hand is very simple to get started, but powerful enough to cover complex testing integration scenarios, being considered by many the true Pythonic approach to testing in Python.In this book, you will learn how to get started right away and get the most out of pytest in your daily work?ow, exploring powerful mechanisms and plugins to facilitate many common testing tasks. You will also see how to use pytest in existing unittest-based test suites and will learn some tricks to make the jump to a pytest-style test suite quickly and easily.

Python Microservices Development. Build, test, deploy, and scale microservices in Python
Tarek Ziadé
We often deploy our web applications into the cloud, and our code needs to interact with many third-party services. An efficient way to build applications to do this is through microservices architecture. But, in practice, it's hard to get this right due to the complexity of all the pieces interacting with each other.This book will teach you how to overcome these issues and craft applications that are built as small standard units, using all the proven best practices and avoiding the usual traps. It's a practical book: you’ll build everything using Python 3 and its amazing tooling ecosystem. You will understand the principles of TDD and apply them. You will use Flask, Tox, and other tools to build your services using best practices. You will learn how to secure connections between services, and how to script Nginx using Lua to build web application firewall features such as rate limiting. You will also familiarize yourself with Docker’s role in microservices, and use Docker containers, CoreOS, and Amazon Web Services to deploy your services.This book will take you on a journey, ending with the creation of a complete Python application based on microservices. By the end of the book, you will be well versed with the fundamentals of building, designing, testing, and deploying your Python microservices.
