CIW Advanced HTML5 and CSS3 Specialist

Course description

The CIW Advanced HTML5 and CSS3 Specialist course develops essential HTML5, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript knowledge. These technologies, known as the Web development trifecta, provide Web pages that easily adapt to smartphones, tablets, gaming devices and smart TVs, as well as to traditional PCs. The CIW Advanced HTML5 and CSS3 Specialist course builds students’ manual-coding skills to develop Web documents using new elements, attributes and selectors introduced in Hypertext Markup Language version 5 (HTML5) and Cascading Style Sheets version 3 (CSS3). Students will create Web pages using the HTML5 structure tags, embed video and audio, and develop cross-browser user-input forms. They will use CSS3 to position and format content, and to create effects such as transformations, transitions and animation.

Students will also learn basic JavaScript coding, and use HTML5 APIs (application programming interfaces) to extend the functionality of Web pages with modern features such as geolocation, drag-and-drop, canvas and offline Web applications. In addition, students will learn techniques for code validation and testing, inline form field validation, and mobile design for browsers and apps, including Responsive Web Design (RWD).

This course is a natural step from our current CIW Foundations Site Development Associate (SDA) certification.

Students are provided with the following resources:

Official Course manuals – covering the entire syllabus.

eLearning resources – access to movies, course review questions, exercises and flash cards.
