What Will I Learn?

• Understand HTML - its structure, and the commonly used tags
• Utilise CSS, including inheritance, selectors, the box model - the very topics that make CSS hard to use
• Master the fundamentals of Javascript
• Use closures, dynamic prototyping, JSON, and the Document-Object-Model with confidence

Requirements

• Any modern browser and a simple text editor are all that will be needed for the code examples
• Some prior programming experience will definitely help in the advanced Javascript portions - if you are entirely new to programming, the second half of the Javascript section will seem very challenging

Target audience

• Yep! Folks who are absolutely new to web programming, and wish to learn HTML and CSS from scratch
• Yep! Folks who are seeking to learn Javascript the right way - including folks who may done some Javascript programming, but are not quite confident using advanced features such as closures or dynamic prototyping
• Yep! Java, C#, Python or C++ programmers who are looking to master Javascript
• Nope! This class is not right for you if you are looking to learn Javascript frameworks such as JQuery, Angular or Node.js
