HTML5 Introduction (H105)

HTML5 is the exciting new version of HTML. Working in conjunction with CSS3, HTML5 is a powerful resource for the web developer and the wave of future web programming. Many new elements such as ‘article’ and ‘section’ enhance the web viewing experience for those using assistive technologies by supplying a structure to webpages that has been missing in prior versions of HTML. For developers, the ease of programming forms and the presentation of video and audio elements will save time and scripting. And, with these new elements in place, a developer can relax knowing that should the user disable JavaScript, the form’s functionality remains in tact. And, finally, for users the ease of use and interactivity in HTML5 web pages makes visiting a site fun and interesting. This course looks at a portion of the 30 new elements presented in HTML5. We’ll touch on interactive elements such as canvas and forms and delve into geolocation, web storage and offline web applications. The course is an overview of new HTML5 elements and does not teach basic HTML and students will need to have a good knowledge of HTML4 prior to taking the course.

"This was an excellent intro to HTML5.
Tons of brand new information and how and where to utilize it. The lessons where just hard enough, and the lectures and assignments where just challenging enough, but not enough to make you throw in the towel!" - Ron Wazny
"Excellent class and will be of great benefit once all browsers support HTML5! The material Peggi presented was clear, thorough and easy to understand. Her sample pages for each lesson was also very helpful." - Colleen Haubrich
