HTML and CSS are two of the three fundamental technologies that all web developers should be familiar with. This course teaches the essentials of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Students will learn how to build a web user interface in HTML5 and to create basic semantic structure, lists, tables, links, and images as well as more advanced HTML such as forms. It also covers basic CSS text formatting and discusses how CSS is used to separate structure from content. Students will learn how to create basic page layouts using CSS with HTML and create CSS rules and selectors. By the end of the course students will learn how to use CSS for creating navigation menus, positioning, and visibility. CSS3 will also be included, and students will learn more modern effects such as drop-shadows, rounded corners, and animation. Students will also learn HTML5, including new HTML5 form fields and audio/video. Students will learn how to make responsive websites that are adaptable to mobile and tablet devices.
This information-rich course relies on independent reading, assignments, and lab work to solidify the principles taught in class.
