I googled a lot for design something as the picture in HTML, but couldn't find anything hint. I wonder is it possible to design a web application in what picture show?
It can be easily implemented just using HTML and CSS but if you are pretty much comfortable with these two languages then I suggest you to learn Bootstrap.Using Bootstrap you can make even better than this.It has predefined classes for buttons,icons,header.tables,and lot more.Trust me,You'll love it.Hope this helps!!!!
That doesn't look very advanced to me.
The laptop is an image
Its container uses some shadows and gradients and
The icons are also images.
Regarding the literal question: Since it's already made, it's possible.
All you need is: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the desire to code.

I'm currently developing a website using Joomla. I have problem to make my website responsive. My current solution is adding CSS codes into the HTML, but it does not work. Can someone give me a solution on how make my website responsive without using extension or changing the template. Thank You.
If the template you're using isn't already responsive you're really making things hard for yourself by wanting to stick with it.
The way css is loaded varies according to template, so you need to check yours to see what mechanism(s) it gives you for including your own css. Again, if there isn't one, you're probably best to get a new one, it will make life so much easier.
If they've implemented a mechanism for you to use, that will probably define the file you can use.
There may be an option in the template admin panel to enter css.
Without knowing which template you're using and how it does that, it's pretty hard to give a very useful answer.
I am looking for possible ways to build a site where my client can easily upload his pictures with a heading / text and remove them again when needed, I prefer easy or quick solutions with high customization if possible.
There is no e-commerce on the page so it will essentially be a portfolio of sorts. I do know a little bit of PHP and SQL, but if the solutions require those I prefer it to be well documented, like a tutorial or such. My skills with html, css are fine, while java and jquery are okay, but a little limited.
I prefer not to work with wordpress, but if everyone thinks that would be the best option, then I will of course use that, though I am hoping for some alternatives.
I'd appreciate any input, advice or suggestions! Thanks in advance!
Try to read about CMS.It will help you out.
Is knowledge of HTML beyond the basics a prerequisite for learning CSS?
I am making a learning plan so this will help me evaluate the time required better.
Is knowledge of HTML beyond the basics a prerequisite for learning CSS?
Absolutely. You won't be able to use CSS in a practical way if you don't know your way around the HTML elements to apply them to.
I'd say learn them both parallelly. Understand the basic HTML syntax and structure first; then start with CSS.
Whats the use of CSS if you don't know HTML?
So better get a good understanding of HTML first and then study CSS.
You can learn CSS from scratch, only basic HTML is needed to allow you to start! Good luck, w3schools.com is an excellent reference site and learning tool for HTML/CSS.
Good question. I'd say technically speaking you don't really need to know HTML if you're absolutely only going to work in CSS (styling somebody else's HTML), but you do need to know about the DOM structure and box model. As pertains to CSS, the DOM and HTML are so closely related as to be virtually indistinguishable. If you know enough about the DOM structure to be able to code CSS, you pretty much automatically know HTML with it.
This almost like asking if you can be an interior decorator without knowing what a house is or the different kinds of rooms.
The whole point of CSS is to make HTML look (and sometimes act) better.
It would be silly to use CSS to create indented lists, and only then discover the <ul> tag.
Or worse, I've seen people spend weeks trying to use CSS to put data in a grid, when one simple <table> tag did the trick. ;-)
Its better if you will go with HTML first, anyways it won't take much time, atleast you should have a basic idea about HTML, then you can easily move in CSS. Anyways CSS is nothing but the style sheet.
I know that is a very embracing question, but I have just started with Ruby on Rails, and still have a long way with CSS and HTML.
There are lots of books about CSS and HTML patterns, but I would like to know what is really applied to actual webpages.
For example, what's the best way of doing a simple webpage with a lateral menu, a logo on the top, and some text below?
Ok, it seems stupid, but there's lot of ways of doing that, or not ?
So, how can I learn this patterns and what are the real patterns ?
Would appreciate suggestions of books, articles, etc.
you can find some good css templates here:
http://www.csszengarden.com/
Actually in html and css there are not patterns in the oo sense.
I find this tutorial very useful:
Design and Code your first website
The nettuts website has a lot af very good free tutorials.
A very good book to begin is:
Head First HTML with CSS and XHTML
It varies from developer to developer. So I'll just tell you what I'm doing!
I'm actually following a very common pattern - separate ANY layout from the contents!
Into the HTML goes...
Text
<div/> containers with IDs to be layouted
And in the CSS goes...
Layout for the ID'd and class'ed <div/> layout containers
Colors, Background images
Fonts
It allows to rapidly change the whole page design without even touching the HTML! And it decreases both your server's traffic and the load time on the client pages, because the CSS file can be cached, since it does not change as much as the HTML does!
The CSS Zengarden nate posted is a very nice example of this pattern. The same unmodified HTML with dozens of CSS files with totally different looks!
This pattern also allows the same unmodified HTML to be displayed with automatically selected CSS files on huge displays, on small netbooks and on mobile devices. Can't be any better if you ask me!
You might want to check out some CSS libraries.
I don't personally like using them because I have ways that I like to do things and sometimes they aren't flexible enough for what I want to do. But since you're just starting out they might help you get something that looks good up really fast without having to worry about float drop bugs or margin collapsing or any other CSS quirks that are easy to hit but hard to recognize if you haven't seen them before.
An example would be the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) Grids CSS that will help you set up many different kinds of grid layouts. To find more, I would search for "css framework" or "css library".
Another YUI resource I think would be really useful for you would be their design pattern library, which documents different ways to display common interface items and gives you resources to go implement them. This can help make your interface look familiar to users and can keep you from feeling like you have to redesign a drop-down box or something.
The rule of thumb should be to do all design in CSS and HTML is just HTML without calls to design. That way, like referenced above, you can change design rapidly.
A good reference for how this works is the Zengarden CSS site at: http://www.csszengarden.com/
This is a site I used often as I learned the ins and outs of CSS design.
Is there any fast guide for web application programmer regarding CSS. From my experiece, if one coder with no graphic design background but good in css can use div and span to create a nice looking page. any such 'quick guide' available for coder?
http://www.csstutorial.net/
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/quick-tutorial.html
There are plenty of quick guides on the staples of CSS, but they're more of an implementation perspective rather than a guide to aesthetic qualities (which I think is what you're asking).
To me most, one of the most authoritative sources for this subject is A List Apart. I suggest you start there.
I think what you want to read is "The Principles of Beautiful Web Design". It's a pretty light read, and give you insight in some designer concepts to get you along the way pretty fast.
If you want to learn css to put a nice page together I'd use a framework like 960gs. This won't help you in the context of working in a non-frameworked environment. But if you want to knock up a nice looking page from scratch without doing anything exotic with the layout and get it to work with a load of browsers 960 is the way to go.
Still go through some basics in css though.
