The course begins by showing you how to use HTML5 elements and CSS3 style sheets for responsive web design. You will learn how to declare a HTML5 document and set up the head and body sections of a web page. You will then learn about a wide range of HTML5 elements and their functions and uses. You will learn how to identify different types of CSS3 selectors and apply these CSS3 selectors to style web pages. You will learn how to list CSS styles in cascading order of precedence. You will learn how to identify and use inline HTML5 elements, and identify and use block style HTML5 elements. You will also learn how to embed a video using the HTML5 video element and add video controls to a video. You will also learn how to work with HTML5 Canvas and with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) in HTML5.

The course then introduces you to JavaScript variables and programming concepts such as declaring variables using the var key word and naming JavaScript variables using identifiers. You will learn about HTML events such as onclick and how JavaScript methods can be used to work with events. You will learn about the different types of conditional statements, their correct syntax and examples of their use. You will learn about JavaScript functions which are blocks of code designed to perform a particular task, and how to write the correct syntax for functions. You will learn about the different types of JavaScript loops (for, for/in, while and do/while loops) and their correct syntax.

You will be introduced to the concept of the Document Object Model and how you can add greater functionality to your web pages using jQuery plugins. When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document Object Model (DOM) of the page. The HTML DOM model is constructed as a tree of objects and JavaScript can interact with elements in the DOM to add much greater functionality and interactivity to web pages. You will also learn about jQuery which is the most popular JavaScript library in use today. You will learn how jQuery’s syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications. You will learn about jQuery plug-ins which are available on the Web and cover a range of functions such as drag and drop, dynamic lists, events and many others.
