<p style="margin:0px">Unlike most technology books, <b>Adaptive Web Design, Second Edition</b>is not a technique book. It’s a philosophy book about how to build websites that can go further and do more using progressive enhancement. This book uses code to help you understand how to apply the philosophy, but learning how to write code is not the focus. <b>Adaptive Web Design, Second Edition </b>will show you how you can craft interfaces that work for any user and how each and every decision you make in a web project affects your end user.</p><p style="margin:0px"><br>This second edition of <b>Adaptive Web Design </b>goes beyond the first edition to frame even more of the web design process in the lens of progressive enhancement. You will learn how content strategy, UX, HTML, CSS, responsive web design, JavaScript, server-side programming, and performance optimization all come together in the service of users on whatever device they happen to use to access the Web.</p><p style="margin:0px"><br>Understanding progressive enhancement will make you a better web professional, whether you’re a content strategist, information architect, UX designer, visual designer, front-end developer, back-end developer, or project manager. It will enable you to visualize experience as a continuum and craft interfaces that are capable of reaching more users while simultaneously costing less money to develop. And when you've mastered the tenets and concepts in this book, you will see the Web in a whole new way—like Neo seeing the Matrix. You will gain Web design superpowers and become invaluable to your employer, your clients, and to the Web as a whole.</p>
