What are the compelling reasons for developing mobile apps with HTML5? And why are some of the Web's biggest players—including Google, Facebook, and Twitter—moving all their apps to the mobile Web? Today you'll learn four principles for designing great mobile apps, and you'll get acquainted with the concept of "mobile first" Web development. By the end of this lesson, you'll be ready to start writing an app.

Today you'll follow the progress of employees at a fictitious company as they build a mobile app. In the process, you'll set up your tools and get your hands dirty with some real HTML5 code.

HTML5 is the latest version of the markup language of the Web. In this lesson, you'll learn why Web developers and mobile developers are so gung-ho for HTML5. More importantly, you'll find out how you can use it to write your own webpages. By the end of the lesson, you'll understand the basics of markup languages and HTML5 syntax.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) will make your Web apps workable on the largest number of devices, and it'll make your code easier to maintain. In this lesson, you'll use CSS to format HTML documents. We'll also look at the new capabilities that are possible with CSS version 3.

JavaScript is the programming language of the mobile Web. In this lesson, you'll learn to use JavaScript to add interactivity to mobile apps.

Today's lesson is all about getting things done faster, better, and with less effort! You'll use jQuery Mobile to make your HTML5 apps feel at home on mobile devices. You'll also use JavaScript libraries and frameworks to get more done in less time.

By accessing built-in device features such as offline storage and location services, you can make your mobile Web apps much more dynamic. In this lesson, you'll learn what's possible and how to do it.

No Web app is an island. Hundreds of app developers have made certain features of their software available using Web Application Programming Interfaces. By using these APIs to retrieve data and then combining different data sources, you can create endless combinations called <i>mashups</i>.

Graphics and animation can really spice up your mobile apps. The mobile Web has special requirements and technologies that you need to be aware of, however. In this lesson, you'll learn to optimize your graphics for the mobile Web.

Smartphones and tablets come in different shapes and sizes. In this lesson, you'll learn to make your Web app look good on the largest possible variety of devices. You'll also add some meta tags that will give your app more polish on iPhone and Android. Then we'll touch on touch-enabling your app.

A responsive app doesn't keep the user waiting. In this lesson, you'll learn tools and techniques to make your app responsive.

Native apps give you access to more device features and to the distribution power of an app store. Learn how to use PhoneGap to convert your Web app into a native one for multiple mobile operating systems.

What people are saying about our courses

The instructor is excellent with great teaching skills. He could explain all the difficult concepts in a simple and easy to follow manner. He is really brilliant and loved his teaching. The course is really interesting explaining the basics. The quiz and assignments are nicely planned and gave more confidence. Discussion areas also helped a lot. The course is truly inspiring one!!

Excellent course! The old traditional method of knocking out a web page with little or no programming planning or forethought is over. Web design has taken on a new meaning where "design" is now a required element. HTML5 is the next tool where the design is for the mobile device first, and then expand up to the less and less used desktop computer. Having created many web sites for many customers in the past, I have learned in this course that I have to come up to speed with the new requirements available in HTML5 and CSS3 and design for the mobile device. This course was able to provide the knowledge for that next step.
Verified Student
This was a wonderful course. It introduced me to technologies and concepts that I didn't know existed. After agonizing over developing an Android app, due to my limited knowledge in the Java language, I feel that I now have a much easier alternative. Thanks again for the information provided. It was invaluable.

Learn how to create powerful, interactive, community-based Web sites with ASP.NET.

Learn how to use Microsoft's Visual Web Developer to create exciting, interactive, and polished Web sites with ASP.NET.

You'll begin this hands-on course by adding powerful controls to your Web pages, giving visitors the ability to interact with your Web site.

You'll find out how to connect to a database, read the information stored inside, and display it exactly the way you want.

You'll find out how style sheets make it easy to give every page of your Web site the same clean, consistent, and professional look, and you'll learn how to create master pages to ensure that each page you create uses a common set of controls.

Using ASP.NET's powerful membership features, you'll develop a true community-based Web site that allows users to register, log in, create and update profiles, and post messages to a forum.

You'll explore the issue of Web security, and you'll discover some simple things you can do to protect your site and prevent the most common types of attacks.

Courses are delivered to you through expertly executed lessons, online instruction and interaction with like-minded students. Our courses are designed to deliver all of the benefits of studying in a classroom whilst giving you the flexibility to study at a time and place to suit your needs. You can access your classroom 24/7 from any device with an internet connection.

This course has a 3 month duration. You'll complete comprehensive lessons, quizzes and assignments before submitting your final exam at the end of the course to achieve your certificate. Courses must be completed within the 3 month access period.

In this first lesson, you'll download and install free software that will help you start creating your own Web sites using ASP.NET. What exactly is ASP.NET? You'll find that out here, too. You'll also see just what makes a Web site tick and we'll work together with a Web browser. You'll discover how the better sites don't just send Web pages to a browser, but rather they create and customize pages right on the spot to produce an exciting user experience.

Today, you'll start creating Web pages that include buttons and text boxes, which visitors can use to submit information. You'll see how you can write ASP.NET programs that read this information and use it to create a new Web page in response. The sequence of events that does this is called a <em>postback</em>, and it's a crucial and exciting element of developing interactive Web sites.

In this lesson, you'll delve further into creating interactive Web sites, picking up a few programming tricks that will help make your life easier. One such technique is the use of <em>object-oriented</em> programming. Many people have heard of this type of programming, and you'll discover how easy it really is to master. You'll also add another control to your Web site, a list box. Then you'll see how you can write code that will run on the Web server in response to the user interacting with your Web page by pushing buttons.

An exciting way to fancy up a Web site is to customize its overall look. You can choose a site's colors, fonts, borders, and general look using a technology called <em>styles</em>. Today, you'll combine everything you've learned so far to make some really attractive pages that incorporate various styles and controls.

While creating Web sites with ASP.NET, you're free to make use of an entire programming language, and you're free to pick from two exciting ones: VB.NET and C# (pronounced C Sharp). In this course, we'll focus on VB.NET, and in this lesson, you'll see how you can keep track of small pieces of information using <em>variables</em>. Then, to try out some of the techniques we'll go over, you'll create a really cool calendar&mdash;and see just how incredibly easy it is to do. But then the excitement really begins as you find out how to store large amounts of data in a database. Professional Web sites make use of databases to store information on millions of customers, and with your newfound knowledge of databases, you'll be able to build Web sites that do this, too.

In order to make use of a database, your Web server needs to connect to it. Then the data can start flowing, whether it consists of only a small amount of data or information on millions of customers. Today, you'll see how to connect to a database. Then you'll learn two ways to display this data on a Web page in the browser. You'll find out how to display data in a grid fashion using a control called a <em>GridView</em>, and how to display it in more of a tabular fashion using a <em>DetailsView</em> control. These controls are so easy to use that you'll have a fancy data-processing Web site up in no time.

In this lesson, you'll start getting into the nuts and bolts of databases. You'll see how data is stored using relationships, whereby a customer in the database might, for example, be related to several orders that he or she made. You'll see that databases are all about relationships, and as such are called <em>relational</em>. As you explore relational data techniques, you'll make use of yet another control for displaying data called the <em>FormView</em> control. This control is incredibly powerful and can display data exactly the way you want it to.

We'll continue exploring relational data today, and you'll discover how to use a simple, special language called <em>SQL</em> to read data from a database. These days, most database systems use SQL, and we'll make sure you get the skills you need to work with it. We'll also discuss another control called a <em>Repeater</em> that lets you display several pieces of data in exactly the format you choose.

In this lesson, we'll step away from the world of databases and see how you can make all the pages in your Web site look similar using <em>Master Pages</em>. With the help of Master Pages, you can provide a common set of controls to all your pages, much like the navigation links you see across the top of many Web sites. You'll discover how you can set these controls up once and make them appear on all the pages of your Web site.

Today, you'll get to pull together everything you've learned and start building your own community Web site, much like the popular ones you often hear about. You'll build a site that includes login and registration boxes so people can register with your site and then log in. You'll find out what pages are necessary and what data you need to include. You'll create a Master Page that contains a navigation bar that will be accessible throughout your site. And you'll set up the styles to give a common set of colors and fonts throughout your site.

In this lesson, you'll finish building your community Web site. You'll put together pages that let users create profiles. Your users will be able to type in the text for their profiles and provide images to go with them. You'll also create a page that lets visitors view the profiles of other users. You'll find out how to present your users with a list of everybody in the community. And you'll even create a forum where people can exchange messages. It's hard to believe you could accomplish all this in just two lessons, but with ASP.NET, it's incredibly easy!

To end this course, we'll cover the important topic of Web security. You'll learn how to protect your Web sites from hackers and prevent some common types of attacks. You'll also see how to make smooth transitions between the different pages of your sites to provide a nice user experience. Finally, we'll go through some advanced topics you can explore on your own if you'd like to learn even more about the world of ASP.NET programming. You'll leave today armed with the knowledge you need to build some really great, sophisticated, interactive Web sites.
