Summary

This book provides a fairly comprehensive introduction to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. Readers can systematically learn to write HTML code, use CSS to style web pages, and use JavaScript and jQuery to add dynamic effects to pages and modify page content and styles. Each chapter includes detailed case demonstrations to help readers better understand the concepts. The book has 15 chapters. Chapters 1–6 cover HTML, including inserting text and paragraphs, tables, forms, lists, and multimedia into web pages. Chapters 7–11 explain CSS in detail, focusing on the box model and positioning, using the box model for page layout, and inspecting the CSS properties of HTML elements with developer tools. Chapters 12–13 cover JavaScript fundamentals and applications, using JavaScript to create dynamic effects on web pages (such as scrolling images) and validate form data. Chapter 14 describes jQuery fundamentals and applications, using jQuery to style forms and tables. Chapter 15 is a comprehensive case study that applies the knowledge from previous chapters to build a web page.

Editor's review

Web Front-End Development: A Concise Tutorial is an introductory guide to front-end technologies for complete beginners or novices, published by Posts & Telecom Press and co-authored by Deng Chunhui and Qin Yingbo. The book systematically covers the core technology stack of modern web front-end development—HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery—with a clear, progressive structure. According to reader feedback on platforms such as Douban, the book has received generally positive reviews and is often recommended as a textbook for relevant university courses or as a self-study primer. Its strengths lie in its comprehensive yet concise content, which breaks complex front-end concepts into easy-to-understand modules and includes abundant example code to help readers consolidate knowledge through practice. However, as a "concise tutorial," it may not go deep enough for advanced developers who wish to study frameworks (such as Vue or React) or modern engineering practices in depth. Overall, it is a solid stepping stone that helps readers quickly build an overall understanding of front-end development and master foundational skills, laying a firm foundation for learning more advanced technologies later.

Who it's for

A good fit for

University students majoring in computer science or related fields, especially suitable as a companion textbook for introductory front-end courses
Beginners hoping to switch into the internet industry and learn web development technologies from scratch
Developers with some background in back-end or other programming languages who want to quickly understand the front-end technology system
Hobbyists interested in web page creation who need a systematic, comprehensive reference book for self-study

Not a good fit for

Developers who have already mastered HTML, CSS, and native JavaScript and wish to study modern front-end frameworks (such as React or Vue) in depth
Senior front-end engineers seeking cutting-edge technology analysis, high-performance optimization, or complex project architecture experience

Reading tips

It is recommended to study in the order of the book's chapters and to type out the example code for each chapter by hand—this is the most effective way to master front-end skills
When studying the JavaScript and jQuery sections, use browser developer tools for debugging and experimentation to intuitively understand how the code runs
After finishing the book, try imitating a simple static website (such as a personal blog homepage) to apply what you have learned comprehensively, and use it as a basis for exploring more advanced CSS preprocessors or JavaScript frameworks

FAQ

Is this book suitable for someone with absolutely no programming background?

This book is positioned as an introductory tutorial. Its explanations of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript start from the very basics and assume no prior programming experience. As long as you have basic computer operating skills and logical thinking, you can follow the book.

Is the jQuery content in the book outdated in today's front-end development?

jQuery once played an important role in simplifying DOM manipulation and handling compatibility. Although modern projects tend to use native JavaScript or frameworks, learning jQuery helps in understanding many legacy codebases, and its ideas remain valuable for understanding the evolution of front-end development. The book includes it as one part of the content, giving readers a more complete knowledge map.

What level can I reach after finishing this book?

After finishing this book, readers should be able to independently use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (including jQuery) to build static web pages with interactive features, understand the basic workflow and core concepts of front-end development, and possess the foundational ability to further study modern front-end frameworks or full-stack development.

About the author

邓春晖 Author

Deng Chunhui — public information about this author is limited. To date, the only known work is Web Front-End Development: A Concise Tutorial (HTML+CSS+JavaScript+jQuery), classified under programming and design. The subject matter shows an interest in the basics of front-end teaching: the book brings HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery together in a single tutorial framework and, for beginning readers, systematically explains how page structure, visual styling and interactive scripting connect. The word "concise" in the title suggests a compact, point-focused approach, using short chapters to help readers build an overall picture of the front-end stack rather than drilling into any single framework or engineering practice. Because verifiable biographical details are scarce, the author's background and research direction cannot be confirmed, but the book's organization suggests an ability to weave several front-end technologies into a coherent teaching thread and a concern for lowering the barrier for beginners. On the available evidence, this tutorial is the main basis for understanding the author's writing style.

秦映波 Author · China

Qin Yingbo, about whom public information is limited, is known only as a Chinese author. The library holds one work by this author: A Concise Tutorial on Web Front-End Development (HTML+CSS+JavaScript+jQuery), commonly classified under programming and design. Judging from the title and category, the book is aimed at beginners in front-end development and covers four foundational technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. It appears to be a practical, clearly structured tutorial in which the author organizes knowledge and explains examples in a concise style intended to lower the barrier for newcomers. Since no reliable records of birth and death dates, education, or career are available, no speculation is made here; any assessment of the author's writing can rest only on the subject matter and positioning of this single work, and further details may be added if more information becomes available.
