The web is constantly changing and evolving with an increasing range of devices, browsers and standards to be considered in design.

Comprised of underlying principles and best practices, this straightforward and forward thinking approach to web evolution and iteration will provide you with finely tuned layouts that leave no site visitor with a damaged user experience.
Here you will find the essentials you need to survive the modern web, coping with the latest and greatest features (and when to use them), plus enough practical advice and tips to leave you less stressed and anxious about what's around the corner. While much of the future is undefined, everyone from beginners to the most seasoned developers will at some point find themselves redefining the way they produce layouts. Using the fundamental skills and processes laid out in this roadmap, you'll be able to boost your stability and flexibility while coding with confidence.
