Aimed at adults and teenagers, this book teaches not just practicals (two popular frameworks, Bootstrap and Angular.js), but also principles (such as the basics of user-experience design, planning and structuring your software). It takes readers through every step of planning and creating their first web application, with assignments in each chapter that readers can use to follow along and code on their own.

Deborah A. Levinson provides expert user-experience design and consultation, usability testing and content assessment to software companies, higher education and non-profit institutions. Todd Belton started programming computers at school. Today, he mainly writes middleware to glue large databases to web applications.
