Why learn HTML and CSS?

HTML is the basis of all web pages. Without HTML, you wouldn't be able to organize text or add images or videos to your web pages. HTML is the beginning of everything you need to know to create compelling web pages! CSS Works with HTML to make your content look good. With these two, you have complete control over how your web pages look.

Why learn JavaScript?

HTML and CSS are static. JavaScript allows you to manipulate them while your web page is already loaded. Imagine reading an interactive document where the content can change based on your actions…as you read it! That's what brings JavaScript to the table.

Content and overview

You do not need to know any programming language to take this course. The content of this course does not assume any prior knowledge of programming or web development. It teaches you how to set up an environment to develop a website from scratch, all the way to deploying it to the web for the world to see.

This is a short course with just over 4 hours of content but cleverly broken up to highlight related activities based on each module in the application being built. We'll also look at troubleshooting and debugging bugs as we go, implementing best practices, writing efficient logic, and understanding why developers do things the way they do. Your knowledge grows step by step during the course and you are challenged to get the best out of yourself.

By the time you've completed the course, you'll have moved around Visual Studio Code and investigated errors so frequently that it will be second nature to you when working in the web development environment. This will put your newly learned skills into practice and impress your boss and colleagues.

The course is complete with working files hosted on GitHub, including some files to make it easier for you to replicate the code being demonstrated. You can work with the author as you work through each lecture and receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon completion of the course.
