Why did I write this book?

In our digital world, programming has become an essential skill. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn programming. I wrote this book, “Quick Start to Web Development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript” to help people understand and begin their coding journey. Having started programming at the age of 20, I faced many obstacles along the way. This book is a reflection of my experiences, after working on multiple web projects.

Do you know it, when you want to start on a new topic, but you don’t know how to start or where to start?

Mostly, you have to overcome the initial obstacles and once the ball starts rolling, the rest is easy. I extracted those fundamentals that are most required to start with web development and building awesome web applications with minimal effort. I am not writing a huge book with hundreds of pages. Instead, I have extracted the most important content and summarized the basics into around 40 pages.

Once you have mastered the fundamentals, you have to dive into practice. Can you also apply your newly acquired knowledge and build web application?

After summarizing the fundamentals, this book provides you a tutorial on developing a simple small web project.

Once they understand the basics, they will be equipped to learn more on their own, without needing additional content. I have spent a lot of time focusing solely on the most important fundamentals that will help beginners overcome obstacles and start programming effectively.

With web development you create cross-platform applications, even for mobile devices.

I chose web development as the focus of this book because it offers the flexibility for cross-platform development. With web development, you can use your code on any platform through a web browser, or transform your applications into native apps using frameworks like Ionic. Web development provides an easy way to visualize fundamental concepts, such as HTML structure, CSS styling, and JavaScript interactivity, using only a web browser. This makes the learning process more interesting and motivating.
