Semester 1: Introduction to HTML5 https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9638ce_00c9a8fda8b94ce7859504efa58d5223~mv2.png About this Course Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have the code, but how do I put it on the web to share with others?). Throughout the course there will be a strong emphasis on adhering to syntactic standards for validation and semantic standards to promote wide accessibility for users with disabilities. This course will appeal to a wide variety of people, but specifically those who would like a step-by-step description of the basics. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is assumed that students have no prior programming skills or IT experience. The course will culminate in a small final project that will require the completion of a very simple page with links and images. The focus of this course is on the basics, not appearance. You can see a sample final HTML page at https://example-site-1--wd4ehtml.repl.co/ (https://example-site-1--wd4ehtml.repl.co/). What you'll learn • —Recognize and use common HTML5 tags. • —Be aware of what an editor is and how to use one. • —Compose HTML5 code that can create images and links.

Now, sites are designed with complex layouts, unique fonts, and customized color schemes. This course will show you the basics of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS3). The emphasis will be on learning how to write CSS rules, how to test code, and how to establish good programming habits. When done correctly, the styling of a webpage can enhance your page. When done incorrectly the result can be worse than no styling at all. To ensure that your sites do not put up barriers for people with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, you will learn how to evaluate pages using the standardized POUR accessibility guidelines. Upon completion of the course, learners will be able to sketch a design for a given HTML page. Using that design they will use CSS to implement the design by adding fonts, colors, and layouts. Here is a sample final CSS page: https://wd4ewebsite1css.wd4e-css.repl.co/ (https://wd4ewebsite1css.wd4e-css.repl.co/) This is the second course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization. Subsequent courses focus on adding interaction with JavaScript and enhancing the styling with Responsive Design. It will be difficult to complete this course if you do not have access to a laptop or desktop computer for the homework. What you'll learn • —Understand the importance of the separation of content and style. • —Write a simple CSS rule that can modify the colors and fonts on a web page. • —Modify the appearance of the text on a page using width, line-height, and text transformation.

But adding some of these types of capabilities requires a stronger programming language than HTML5 or CSS3, and JavaScript can provide just what you need. With just a basic understanding of the language, you can create a page that will react to common events such as page loads, mouse clicks & movements, and even keyboard input. This course will introduce you to the basics of the JavaScript language. We will cover concepts such as variables, looping, functions, and even a little bit about debugging tools. You will understand how the Document Object Model (DOM) is used by JavaScript to identify and modify specific parts of your page. After the course, learners will be able to react to DOM Events and dynamically alter the contents and style of their page. The class will culminate in a final project - the creation of an interactive HTML5 form that accepts and verifies input. This can be completed as the third or fourth course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization. What you'll learn • —Understand how JavaScript is used to react to user events. • —Write your own JavaScript code to let a person interact with your page. • —Discuss how JavaScript can introduce accessibility issues. Skills you'll gain • —Document Object Model (DOM) • —Web Development • —JavaScript This course is part of multiple programs.

But now it is just as likely that someone will be using a smartphone, tablet, or assistive technology to access the Internet. Therefore, people viewing your site will now expect that it will perform regardless of the device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, or screen reader) AND take into account some common personal settings such as colour schemes. This ability to respond to any platform and user preferences is called Responsive Design. This course will expand upon the basic knowledge of CSS3 to include topics such as wireframes, fluid design, media queries, and the use of existing styling paradigms. After the course, learners will be able to: • —Explain the mobile-first paradigm and the importance of wireframes in the design phase • —Create sites that behave across a range of platforms • —Recognize existing design frameworks such as Bootstrap A basic understanding of HTML and CSS is expected when you enroll in this class, so it can be taken third or fourth in the Web Design for Everybody specialization. Additional courses focus on adding interactivity with the JavaScript Programming Language and completing a capstone project. What you'll learn • —Describe basic knowledge of browser tools for responsive design. • —Understand the importance of a "mobile-first" paradigm for web design. • —Write rules for responsive design for a mobile and large-screen view.

Univad courses offer you a few different ways to reflect on your learning: • Quizzes • Tests • Exercises • Assignments Quizzes • Quizzes are designed to help you with the learning process. • They don't count towards an overall course score. • You can try each question as many times as you like. Tests • Tests are designed to assess what you’ve learned. • They count towards your overall course score. • You get three attempts at each question. • Only learners who have upgraded can access tests - you can find out more about this in our article about upgrading. If you fail your test, please contact support@Univad.org. You may have a maximum of two further attempts. Exercises • Exercises are designed to let you put into practice some of what you've learned. • They don't count towards your overall course score. Assignments • Assignments let you produce a slightly longer-form piece of work. • They are reviewed by other learners. • You'll be able to review another learner's work as well! • Everyone who submits an assignment should receive at least one review. (The system is largely random, but sampled so that everyone should get at least one.) • Learners who submit earlier are a little more likely to receive multiple reviews. • Some reviews will be received later in the course, as learners join and study later. • We can't edit your assignment after you submit it. We recommend that you draft assignments outside Univad and then paste them into the submission box, to avoid submitting them accidentally.
