Learn Front-End Web Development with Big Nerd Ranch

ATLANTA, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For programmers interested in creating rich web experiences across platforms, app development and training leader Big Nerd Ranch has released Front-End Web Development: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide. The book encourages developers to think critically as they learn the JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3 skills necessary to build modern websites and web applications.

Big Nerd Ranch experts Chris Aquino and Todd Gandee authored the book to deliver a comprehensive guide for front-end development. "There are a lot of great books about individual front-end technologies, but what was missing was one that showed you the right mix of languages, libraries and techniques in the context of a front-end project. This is the book we wish we could have read when we started programming," Aquino states.

The book, written for programmers with a background in other platforms and those who have previous web experience, quickly brings developers up to speed on current tools and best practices.  Upon completion, readers will be able to create rich web experiences, modern websites and outstanding web/mobile apps leveraging responsive UIs, remote web services and Ember.js.

Front-End Web Development: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide is now available for purchase in both print and electronic form from Amazon and InformIT. A complete list of Big Nerd Ranch Guides is available on the Big Nerd Ranch website.

Big Nerd Ranch also teaches a variety of programming bootcamps at their locations in Georgia and California. The Front-End Essentials course builds upon the content in the book with hands-on instruction in an immersive setting. Students start the week by building a responsive, accessible website using CSS3 and semantic HTML5, and leave the bootcamp with a complex web application. In addition to the Front-End Essentials course, Big Nerd Ranch also offers training for Android, iOS, back-end web, Cocoa and design.
