Building Web Apps That Work Everywhere
Many people around the world who can't afford high-speed internet — or have slow, unreliable connections — often resort to smartphones with restrictive data plans just to take care of basics like banking or job searching. How is it possible to build sites that work anywhere, with any network connection ?This title explores how resource-rich websites limit options for millions of users and shows you what you can do to make your sites and apps more inclusive by exposing persistent, human-readable links, using responsive web design, focusing on web performance and including offline functionality.As the Web continues to play an increasingly important role in Special Data our daily lives, these features will help our sites deliver on Tim Berners-Lee's promise of a global communications network that allows people to participate fully, no matter what connection they use .Download | View SourceBuilding Web Apps.That Respect A User's Privacy and SecurityBuilding Web Apps Respect A User Privacy And SecurityA recent Pew Research Center survey found that few Americans are confident in the security or privacy of their data, particularly when it comes to the use of online tools. Each of us now produces more data every day than people in previous generations did in their lifetimes. Every time we click, tweet or visit a site, we leave a digital trace. As web developers, we are the first line of defense in protecting our users' data and privacy .This title explores several techniques, tools, and best practices for developing and maintaining web apps that deliver the privacy and security every user needs and deserves.Download | View SourceCollaborative Web DevelopmentCollaborative Web DevelopmentWeb development is a highly social endeavor where developers collaborate with each other to build complex systems. This title provides guidelines for working effectively with other developers, particularly when it comes to making compromises, writing documentation, and interacting with open source in ways you can't achieve as a solo learner.Collaborative Web Development explores widely accepted ways to write quality code, contribute to open source work, improve documentation practices, and, perhaps most critically, respect and engage every team member.

As the final part of the series on ethical web development, this book highlights how empathetic development practices like these will help you create empathetic products.Download | View SourceConclusionsCertainly in the coming years the topic of ethics in web and app development will be explored in greater depth. It is desirable that universities, in addition to investigating technology and science, also pay careful attention to the impact of technologies and the human meaning of the tools that are developed.For our part, as developers, we increasingly and increasingly try to understand how the solutions we adopt impact people as our work evolves. As commercial companies we are often called upon to make choices, on our own initiative or driven by commercial requests, which affect our moral and ethical sense.It is not uncommon for us here at Neting to find ourselves around a table or in front of a coffee talking about ethical aspects, even just to evaluate a client's request or a possible job.With growing attention and curiosity we watch the machine, which we are building together, evolve and take unexpected paths. And this is sometimes worrying.And what do you think about ethical considerations regarding web design? Do you think these are far-fetched claims or legitimate aspirations regarding web development? Let's talk about it below!
