Take your CSS3 and HTML5 skills to the next level and learn how to create professional-quality websites.

Today's websites require streamlined code that adapts to a variety of devices, screen resolutions, Web browsers, and user needs. CSS3 and HTML5 are the keys to creating that, and they're the foundation upon which all modern websites built (not to mention many mobile apps, games, and even desktop apps). This means today's software developers need a deep understanding of CSS3 and HTML5.

In this course, you'll take your CSS and HTML skills to the next level and learn how to create professional-quality websites. You'll find out the methods the pros use to quickly build effective sites that are easy to maintain and modify. You'll discover the secrets to ensuring you keep total creative control over every aspect of a site. You'll master specific techniques for using background images and controlling opacity, visibility, and scrollbars. You'll create picture thumbnail galleries, cool hover (mouseover) effects, drop-down menus and flyout menus, and animation effects that work on hover as well as touchscreens like the iPhone and iPad. You'll also discover wonderful easy-to-code methods for creating responsive layouts that scale well to all screen sizes and devices.

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 today's lesson, we're going to start off with a quick review of what CSS and HTML are all about, the syntax of each language, and the key concepts and terminology. Then we'll go hands-on and actually create a new website to use as working example for more hands-on practice throughout the course. And finally, we'll reveal some of the mysteries of the Web browser rendering engines that turn the code we write into the beautiful creations you see on your computer screen.

Understand the viewport and its importance in Web design, and apply it to some advanced techniques for background images.

In today's lesson, you'll learn how to take your Web design skills to a whole new level with CSS static, relative, fixed, and absolute positioning. You'll also find out how to position things exactly where you want them, even stack and overlap them, just like the pros do.

Many of the more advanced interactive techniques for designing Web pages requires an understanding of the CSS properties and values necessary for controlling opacity, visibility, and scroll bars. Drop-down menus, pop-up thumbnail galleries, and scrolling textboxes are built from these things. Today's lesson introduces you to all the concepts, as well as the CSS properties and values you need to build such things. You'll then apply these techniques through the course to create ever more interactive pages.

In today's lesson, you're going to learn how to apply advanced techniques like visibility, absolute positioning, and :hover to some fun things like thumbnail photo galleries and interactive facts. We'll go over some practical examples of the concepts, and I'll provide you with some code you can drop right into your own pages and use with minimal alteration. You'll also discover the secret to making the CSS :hover event work on devices like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, which don't always play nice with events that are designed to work with mouse pointers.

Web developers often feel shackled by the small selection of Web-safe fonts available on most computers. In today's lesson, I hope to free you from those shackles by sharing knowledge of downloadable fonts and the modern Web Open Font Format (WOFF), as well as the CSS @font-face rule that make them possible. With this knowledge, you'll be able to choose from thousands of fonts for your website.

Today's lesson is all about creating cool-looking navigation bars and tabs like you see in professional sites. You'll learn different ways to size and position the buttons and tabs, how to use background images that change on mouse over, and how to highlight the tab that represents the current page to the user.

Today's lesson will help you use the skills you've gained so far to create some complex navigation tools with drop-down and flyout menus like the ones you may have seen in some large, professionally developed websites. Along the way, you'll learn how you can use the CSS rule of specificity to create complex designs with minimal code.

In today's lesson, we'll step back from the fine details on which we've focused for the past few lessons, and look again at the bigger picture of the entire page layout. You'll see how pages are likely to look going forward with HTML5 and CSS3, and you'll pick up some new tricks for making your pages better for the browsers and devices of today and tomorrow. And finally, you'll learn a new technique for making multicolumn layouts easier than ever.

<p><i>Responsive Web Design</i> is a popular buzzword in the Web design business these days. It's all about designing your website so it looks good and works well on the wide range of devices people use to access the Web these days, including smartphones, tablets, portable computers, desktop computers, gaming consoles, and television sets. In today's lesson, you'll learn smart and relatively simple techniques that you can start using right now to ensure that your site looks and behaves its best across all those different media.</p>

Despite their widespread use on the Web today, HTML5 and CSS3 are still not W3C final recommendations. A W3C spec isn't a final recommendation until it's had years of real-world use. The most important and most needed features of the languages received browser support very quickly. Some of the more "out there" tags and properties are being adopted more slowly, but they do represent some really cool animations and other fun stuff you'll want to know about now. Today's lesson is about those upcoming features.

Today's lesson will help you expand your horizons into other areas of Web development and app development. We'll discuss the difference between front-end and back-end languages. You'll learn the purpose of JavaScript and jQuery. You'll understand server-side technologies like PHP, MySQL, ASP.Net, and SQL Server&mdash;what they are, how you'd use them, and why you might want to learn them.

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.
