If you’ve ever looked a web page in awe, wondering how it was made, then this is the course that not only gives you the answer to that question, but will also empower you with the knowledge and technology to create your own stunning web sites!
In this course we have only one goal: that by the time you finish it, you’d have built a web site that looks great on any device. Yes, by yourself! How exactly are we going to achieve that? Here’s a breakdown all the skills and tools you'll learn.
In this section, we will look at the technology that is used to describe the structure of every single document on the web. Yep! That’s right! HTML is the cool way of saying, ‘Hyper Text Mark-up Language’. It is usually refered to as the building block of the web.
If HTML is used to give meaning and structure to web page, CSS is the guy that tells the browser how to display this page. In this section, we will explore the power of Cascading Style Sheet. That’s basically what CSS is. It’s used to style (beautify) the web page that we create using HTML.
It’s no longer news that majority of users now access web content using mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. The screens of these devices are considerably smaller than that of an average desktop .
Responsive design is about designing web pages that will ‘respond’ to the users based on the screen size of the devices they are using to view your pages.
There are three guys that constitute the core technologies of the web. You have met two of them. Can you guess? That’s right! HTML and CSS. As you might have guessed, the third guy is JAVASCRIPT.
It is quite interesting to note that JAVASCRIPT is actually a full-fleged programming language. Not only that, it has eveolved to become very powerful.
