Summary

The CIW Advanced HTML5 and CSS3 Specialist course builds upon students manual-coding skills to develop Web documents using new elements, attributes and selectors introduced in Hypertext Markup Language version 5 (HTML5) and Cascading Style Sheets version 3 (CSS3). Students will create Web pages using the HTML5 structure tags, embed video and audio, and develop cross-browser user-input forms. They will use CSS3 to position and format content, and to create effects such as transformations, transitions and animation. Students will also learn basic JavaScript coding, and use HTML5 APIs (application programming interfaces) to extend the functionality of Web pages with modern features such as geolocation, drag-and-drop, canvas and offline Web applications. In addition, students will learn techniques for code validation and testing, inline form field validation, and mobile design for browsers and apps, including Responsive Web Design (RWD). In addition to reviewing the material in the course, this training will focus on the best practices and techniques for delivering a class based on our curricula in the classroom. The class will be highly interactive and involve all members in helping to craft analogies, examples, activities, and games that can be utilized in the classroom to augment the course content.
