Course: Developer Fundamentals: Webdevelopment

HTML is the backbone of all web documents, web applications, and now e-commerce. Despite all this power, HTML remains very easy to learn. Use this course to explore the history and versions of HTML. Study the structure, parts, and role of an HTML document. Examine menus, HTML tags and attributes, semantic tags, tables, and forms. Learn about the elements of the DOM (Document Object Model) and identify its role in document structure. On the practical front, build a web page that includes form controls, tables, combo boxes, radio buttons, and more. Upon completion, you'll be able to build simple web pages using HTML.

HTML specifies the content and structure of a webpage, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the language used to define how HTML elements are styled and displayed. Use this course to learn how to use CSS to style your HTML documents. Distinguish between HTML and CSS and see how CSS can enhance the look and feel of HTML elements and, in turn, the entire web page. As you get hands-on, apply styles to textual content within the HTML elements. CSS can also be used to affect properties such as borders, widths, and backgrounds. Work with selectors, page layout, and transformations. Also, use animations to create subtle effects on DOM elements. Upon course completion, you'll be able to customize the design and style of your HTML-built web pages using CSS.

Scripting languages, such as JavaScript, are common in programming. Not only can they make coding less cumbersome, but they also add a level of dynamicity to applications. Anyone who wants to get their head around programming needs to know how and why to use JavaScript. Use this course to explore the origins of scripting in web pages and scripting's contribution to a more dynamic web environment. Find out how to use variables, functions, expressions, and arrays in JavaScript. More importantly, discover how JavaScript can react to events that happen on a web page and contribute to form validation and submission to a back-end database. Upon completion, you'll know to use JavaScript to make your web pages more dynamic and reactive to user interaction.

In the Web Fundamentals lab, you will create an HTML document to which you will add lists and a table. You will also add JavaScript in HTML and add JavaScript operators and events. Next you will add CSS in an HTML document and link an external CCS file.

Final Exam: Web Fundamentals will test your knowledge and application of the topics presented throughout the Web Fundamentals track of the Skillsoft Aspire Developer Fundamentals Journey.
