Development
A fair amount of the web design process involves the creation and trouble-
shooting of the documents, style sheets, scripts, and images that make up a
site. At web design firms, the team that handles the creation of the files that
make up the website (or templates for pages that get assembled dynamically)
is usually called the development or production department.
Web developers may not design the look or structure of the site themselves,
but they do need to communicate well with designers and understand the
intended site goals so they may suggest solutions that meet those goals.
The broad disciplines that fall under development are authoring, styling, and
scripting/programming.
Authoring/markup
Authoring is the term used for the process of preparing content for delivery
on the Web, or more specifically, marking up the content with HTML tags
that describe its content and function. If you want a job as a web developer,
you need to have an intricate knowledge of HTML and how it functions on
various browsers and devices. The HTML specification is constantly evolv-
ing, which means you’ll need to keep up with the latest best practices and
opportunities as well as bugs and limitations. The good news is, it’s not dif-
ficult to get started, and from there, you can gradually increase your skills.
We’ll be dabbling with HTML in Chapter 2, How the Web Works and then
discussing it in great detail in Part II of this book.
Styling
In web design, the appearance of the page in the browser is controlled by
style rules written in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). We’ll get deep into CSS
in Part III of this book (including what “cascading” means!), but for now
just know that in contemporary web design, the appearance of the page is
handled separately from the HTML markup of the page. Again, if you are
interested in working in web development, knowing your way around CSS
and how it is supported (or not supported) by browsers is guaranteed to be
part of your job description.
