Course Description
In this 3-day HTML, CSS & JavaScript – A Rapid Introduction class, students get a comprehensive hands-on introduction to client-side programming with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The course focuses on using HTML/CSS/JavaScript to implement programming logic, define and use variables, perform looping and branching, develop user interfaces, capture and validate user input, store data, and create well-structured applications. Students should be prepared to cover a lot in three days and to be ready to spend some time afterward reviewing the content on their own to solidify and build upon the skills taught in class.
Pre-requisites
Programming experience would be beneficial and a basic understanding of how the web works.
Who is this course for?
