Plenty of resources offer you snippets of code and a variety of tutorials can show you the solutions to web development problems. But it's much more valuable (and a better investment of your time!) to learn some core problem-solving skills. This book shares key rules and strategies that will empower you to become a confident coder and web developer, ready to think through whatever complications present themselves. An expert developer describes 11 challenges typical of a library setting and ones he has faced himself. He then walks you through his thinking, with explorations of alternate approaches, as he works toward a solution. As you follow along, you'll gain wisdom involving scenarios such as integrating a reader app with Dspace; tips when using a public API; troubleshooting a Google Analytics Event hook in a new application; building a database from a collection of CSV files; collecting information from a university's web pages to display in the library website; and moving mass quantities of information to the next page of your app. Armed with the conceptual foundation outlined in this book, you'll be ready to meet the web development challenges you face in your library.
