We’re happy to announce commencement of a new six-week HTML5 course at eClasses.org, starting September 16, 2013.
In this course we’ll look at HTML5 from a task-oriented perspective, by learning not only the HTML code for specific tasks, such as, say, formatting text, creating simple shapes or form fields, and so on, but also how to apply CSS3 and JavaScript to create real-world Web objects, Web pages, and Web sites. We’ll spend less time on terms and theory and more time on how to design. When you finish this class, you’ll have the core knowledge required for advancing on to using HTML5 to create special effects, sophisticated animations and interactivity, Web forms that configure themselves based on user input, and Web applications that actually do things, rather than just sit there and look pretty.
Here’s the course syllabus:
