It reclaims the mechanisms, tools, and practices used to produce coercive and commercial interfaces, harnessing the power of design and networked information to question preconceptions about the medium itself. This engaging, practical textbook explores how to design for the web while maintaining a critical understanding of the technoculture that sustains it. Motivated by new media art practices and speculative design, xtine burrough and Owen Mundy teach readers to conceptualize, design, and program responsive websites as both an applied and creative practice. Each chapter integrates coverage of the field’s historical and cultural concepts with hands-on, technical exercises. The result is a timely, innovative guide that makes professional front end development tools accessible to all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn-by-doing approach builds technical skills in interface design, usability\/accessibility, and coding in HTML\/CSS and Javascript\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical, political, and philosophical context relates the “why” argument for learning to code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies and interviews with artists and designers bring ideas to life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive supplemental resources include code, exercises, and video demonstrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003extine burrough\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the Bass School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology and the director of LabSynthE at the University of Texas, Dallas.
