Professional Training

Prerequisites

None – this course is beneficial whether you`re new to web development or an experienced web developer who`s been frustrated by self-learning or other courses.

Who should attend

This is for anyone who wants to develop web pages the professional way, using HTML5 semantic tags to structure the content and CSS to format and lay it out on the page. That includes:
• budding web developers
• experienced web developers who want to update their HTML/CSS skills to the new standards
• web developers who still use tables for page layout when they should be using CSS
But it's also for web programmers, whether they're working in JavaScript or using a server-side language like PHP, ASP.NET, or Java servlets and JSPs. Web programmers are often surprised at the intricacies involved in writing good HTML and CSS code, yet understanding that piece makes them more effective members of the development team.
