about the reader:
For web developers familiar with HTML, CSS, and the jаvascript basics.
Design for Developers is written for web developers building websites and web apps who want to learn the basics of what makes a website or web app look well designed and how to make design decisions and choices with confidence. Whether you are a freelance developer or work on a team with designers, the content in this book will give you the tools and vocabulary to talk to your clients or design team about design and how it relates to your job as a developer, whether you’re entry level or advanced.
This book focuses on teaching developers about visual design and user experience fundamentals within the context of the web and how to apply those fundamentals to their current or future role. The term web developer can mean many different things in today’s professional environment. The type of developer who will benefit most from this book is the one who writes code that ultimately affects the frontend of a website or what the user sees. These developers will have job titles such as full-stack developer, frontend developer, and web app developer.
We won’t focus heavily on code, but as this book is about design and user experience for the web, there will be some code references. Most people who will benefit from this book will come from a strong code background in jаvascript or PHP and will have an understanding of HTML and CSS with little or no knowledge of design or user experience fundamentals.
