CIW Advanced HTML5 & CSS3 Specialist

CIW Advanced HTML5 & CSS3 Specialist

Advanced HTML5 And CSS3 Specialist is the first course in the CIW Web And Mobile Design series. This course teaches the essentials of HTML5, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript. These technologies, sometimes known as the "HTML5 Family" or the "Web development trifecta," can be used together to create Web pages that easily adapt to display on smartphones, tablets, gaming devices and smart TVs, as well as to traditional desktop computers.

This course builds upon your manual coding skills to teach you how to develop Web documents using new elements, attributes and selectors introduced in HTML5 (Hypertext Markup Language version 5) and CSS3 (Cascading Style Sheets version 3). You will create Web pages using the HTML5 structure elements, embed video and audio, and develop cross-browser user-input forms. You will use CSS3 to position and format content, and to create effects such as transformations, transitions and animation.

You 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, you will learn techniques for code validation and testing, form creation, inline form field validation, and mobile design for browsers and apps, including Responsive Web Design (RWD).

All CIW courses offer Case Studies for class discussion about real-world skills applications and job-related topics. Guided, step-by-step labs provide opportunities to practice new skills. You can challenge yourself and review your skills after each lesson in the Lesson Summary and Lesson Review sections. Additional skill reinforcement is provided in Activities, Optional Labs, Lesson Quizzes and a Course Assessment that are available from your instructor (for ILT training) or CIW Online (for self-study).

This coursebook includes supplemental online material containing the lab files used in class. To practice the skills presented in class or to perform any labs that were not completed, refer to the Classroom Setup section for information about system requirements and using the lab files.

The CIW Advanced HTML5 And CSS3 Specialist course prepares students to take the high-stakes CIW Advanced HTML5 And CSS3 Specialist certification exam.
