Functional CSS: Dynamic HTML without JavaScript

Previous volumes of the Functional CSS series have focused on building standalone interactive web components using only HTML and CSS. This book continues with and expands upon this theme and teaches users how to build new functional widgets in the context of a complete resume web site. To accommodate the new approach, several of the chapters are dedicated to static HTML and CSS, which is the necessary glue to assemble different sections of an online resume into a cohesive document. The example material for the site will be my own vita. A full amount of my professional content is provided to make this exercise as realistic as possible; the reader is welcome to adjust the content to suit his or her own needs. The functional CSS components that are congruent with the resume theme are used. These include click-activated tabs, information-on-demand dropdown controls, image gallery, and data form with input validation and error highlighting. Given the current format, this text is the most involved volume of the series and is a high-commitment educational material, a content that demands study. Perusal of the chapters may work for some experts; however, beginners and intermediate-level developers should set aside the necessary time to work through the tutorials and to experiment with the examples.
