Ask HN: Front end/CSS books

4 pointsby peaceprayer12 anni fa4 comments

Hello NH. I'm looking for Frontend / CSS / and-so-on books to master my outdated skills.

For example, ages ago i'd suggest Zeldman books or 'The Zen of CSS Design' by Dave Shea, but it seems to me that A LOT changed for now on.

Any great books to understand how to do perfect frontend today? Thanks.

Here's a sampling of some great books in the front-end space. I'd also suggest looking into Tuts+ (http://tutsplus.com/) or Codeschool (https://www.codeschool.com/).

- Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS https://smacss.com/

- HTML5 and CSS3 (2nd edition): Level Up with Today's Web Technologies https://pragprog.com/book/bhh52e/html5-and-css3

- Programming JavaScript Applications http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000000262

- Building Backbone Plugins https://pragprog.com/book/d-dbback/building-backbone-plugins

- Automate with Grunt: The Build Tool for JavaScript https://pragprog.com/book/bhgrunt/automate-with-grunt
