I am releasing my newest online course entitled HTML and CSS (with HTML 5) on Wednesday, August 3 2011. This is an exciting course because it fulfills a unique niche in the market– an HTML 5 course that is geared towards beginners. I noticed that all of the HTML 5 courses on the market required classical HTML as a prerequisite. HTML and CSS (with HTML 5) requires no previous knowledge. This HTMl and CSS course is designed so a new developer can start applying their HTML, CSS and HTML 5 knowledge right away.
I also noticed that most HTML courses taught HTML the same way were were teaching it in 1995– as if CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) technology didn’t exist. This course teaches HTML in a contemporary manner– integrating CSS for the design layer and using HTML only as a framework for defining the purpose and outline of the content. Our HTML and CSS course also includes coverage of CSS
Here’s the outline:
