Front-end Web Development
What
Weekly class on HTML/CSS/JS, currently taught by JeffreyATW.
We'll cover the (very) basics:
- Explaining the separation between structure, presentation, and behavior
- Writing a basic HTML page
- Styling the page with basic CSS
- Discussing tools of the trade
- Explaining how basic HTTP works
Then we'll get to talking about a different topic every week. Some topic ideas include:
- HTML5 elements
- CSS3 properties
- jQuery
- Accessibility
- Cross-browser compatibility (and graceful degradation)
- The box model
- Possible focus on web frameworks, although that's not particularly "frontend"
