COURSE RATIONALE/OBJECTIVES
Instruction in best practices for building responsive websites that adapt to different devices and user behaviors. Responsive design topics to be covered include: HTML5; CSS3; semantic html; code frameworks; designing with fluid grids; creating layouts which incorporate typography and fluid media; using CSS media queries; responsive web typography; color; templates; hosting; web apps; web services. Students are then prepared to 1) evaluate whether or not responsive web design is a viable career option for them, and 2) pursue more advanced study in web, interaction, and UX design if they choose to do so.
COURSE SNAPSHOT
In this class you’ll learn how to code HTML and CSS, the coding languages used to create web pages. I focus on best practices for structuring the content of your webpages with HTML and then styling the content with CSS.
Once you have the basics under your belt, you'll move on to real-world page layout. You’ll learn text and link styles, centered page layout, background images, CSS-based navigation, forms, uploading files via FTP, and much more. I will provide you with content and prepared images for use in these projects but this training will give you hands-on practice coding websites from scratch all the way through uploading them to make them live.
