Web Development Fundamentals
Course Overview:
This course provides students experience developing HTML5 Web pages in a text editor and a GUI interface. In addition, students will learn how to use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS 3) and will study the basics of JavaScript and DOM. This course prepares students for exams such as the CIW Site Development Associate certification exam
Course Reflection:
This was a fun class. I learned a lot about the design of websites and the code that actually makes up those visual pages that we see when we surf the web. I think that the HTML and the CSS is quite easy to do and is a bit fun to code out. However, JavaScript gave me a bit of challenge; the syntax has to be perfect, every character must be right, knowing when to use a coma versus using a semicolon had me stuck for three hours. It was quite frustrating, but I was thrilled to figure out the problem and I enjoyed the challenge. I am excited and looking forward to learn and memorize JavaScript.
