WHAT YOU NEED TO USE THIS BOOK


To make use of the examples in this book, you need the following:


➤ (^) Several Internet browsers to test your web pages
➤ (^) Text-editing software or your favorite IDE
Designing content for websites requires reaching more than one type of audience. Some of your
audience may use different operating systems or different browsers other than those you installed on
your computer. This book focuses on the most popular browsers available at the time of
this writing:
➤ (^) Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 or newer for Windows
➤ (^) Safari 7 or newer for Mac OS X
➤ (^) Firefox 30 or newer for Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux
➤ (^) Google Chrome 36 or newer for Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux
It is likely that some or most of the examples will work in older versions of these browsers, but that
has not been tested.
