About this ebook
The glossary covers key terms and concepts of the Web, beginning with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, accessibility, security, performance, code quality and testing, internationalization, localization, frameworks and editors and tooling.
The glossary then includes other disciplines of interest and relevance to the modern developer, like computer science, design, typography, usability and user experience, information and project management and more.
It goes beyond web development to feed all your curiosity, about the Web and the technologies and processes used to build it. And still it is a glossary, of several thousand terms for developers, based on careful research as well as established sources, like Wikipedia, but also MDN Web Docs.
This new edition of The Web Development Glossary includes almost a thousand additional terms as well as major usability updates, like improved source and cross-reference navigation.
About the author
Jens Oliver Meiert is a German engineering leader and author who lives in Galicia, Spain. He’s the architect of various large-scale websites (e.g., for GMX/United Internet, Aperto/IBM iX, and Google), a contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and a reviewer and writer for technical publishers (O’Reilly, Frontend Dogma). Jens works with the tension between aspiration and curiosity, between mastering things but also just trying them—which is why he writes about topics other than web development, and also publishes independently.
