Developing Rich Internet Applications Using HTML 5, CSS3 and j Query course

COURSE DESCRIPTION

What is Developing Rich Internet Applications Using HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery course?

This is a hands-on course for designers and developers who want to build genuinely interactive sites rather than static pages. You work with HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery together, using the features modern browsers actually support, and you write every line yourself in the live session.

• HTML5 brings its own set of features: semantic structure tags, richer form elements with built-in validation, native audio and video, Canvas for drawing, and browser APIs such as geolocation and storage. You use each of them in the live sessions rather than reading a list.

• jQuery is a JavaScript library, not a language of its own. It takes the long-winded parts of client-side scripting and shortens them, and the course covers DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax with it.

• CSS3 adds selectors and properties that remove a lot of old workarounds: text and drop shadows, rounded corners and gradients without opening an image editor, plus transitions and animations that need no JavaScript at all. Flexbox and grid then handle the layouts that used to need floats.

Clients now expect a site to do something, not just sit there: sliders, filters, forms that check themselves, content that loads without a reload. That is the gap between a page and an application, and it is what this course covers. If you are unsure what the 4 weeks include or whether the level suits you, the next few lines set it out plainly.
