For years now, web developers have used powerful application servers like PHP and Node that could create our web apps.

How often do you hear people say things like this? "Our JavaScript is a mess, but we're thinking about using [framework of the month]." Like it or not, JavaScript is not going away.

CSS Cookbook (Cookbooks (O'Reilly)) (Animal Guide)
by Christopher Schmitt
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are a powerful way to enrich the presentation of HTML-based web pages, allowing web authors to give their pages a more sophisticated look and more structure. CSS's compact file size helps web pages load quickly, and by allowing changes made in one place to be applied across the entire document, CSS can save hours of tedious changing and updating. But to leverage the full power of CSS, web authors first have to sift through CSS theory to find practical solutions that...
