The Web Development Glossary 4K

It’s finally available—The Web Development Glossary 4K, the third edition of “the black book,” featuring updated definitions and almost a thousand additional terms:

The Web Development Glossary is the largest of its kind. With more than 4,000 terms and explanations (“4K”), it is the book to extend your web development and web platform knowledge.

The glossary covers key terms and concepts of the Web, beginning with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, accessibility, security, performance, code quality and testing, internationalization, localization, frameworks and editors and tooling.

The glossary then includes other disciplines of interest and relevance to the modern developer, like computer science, design, typography, usability and user experience, information and project management and more.

It goes beyond web development to feed all your curiosity, about the Web and the technologies and processes used to build it. And still it is a glossary, of several thousand terms for developers, based on careful research as well as established sources, like Wikipedia and MDN Web Docs.

This third edition of The Web Development Glossary includes many updated definitions—and almost a thousand additional terms.
