CIW Advanced HTML5 & CSS3 Specialist

Advanced HTML5 And CSS3 Specialist is the first course* in the CIW Web And Mobile Design series. This course teaches the essentials of HTML5, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and JavaScript. These technologies, sometimes known as the “HTML5 Family” or the “web development trifecta,” can be used together to create web pages that easily adapt to display on smartphones, tablets, gaming devices, and smart TVs, as well as on traditional desktop computers.

This course builds upon your manual coding skills to teach you how to develop web documents using new elements, attributes, and selectors introduced in HTML5 (Hypertext Markup Language version 5) and CSS3 (Cascading Style Sheets version 3). You will create web pages using the HTML5 structure elements, embed video and audio, and develop cross-browser user-input forms. You will use CSS3 to position and format content, and to create effects such as transformations, transitions, and animation.

You will also learn basic JavaScript coding and use HTML5 APIs (application programming interfaces) to extend the functionality of web pages with modern features such as geolocation, drag-and-drop, canvas, and offline web applications. In addition, you will learn techniques for code validation and testing, form creation, inline form field validation, and mobile design for browsers and apps. This course will also apply project management tasks and critical thinking as you learn to code web pages. You will also learn why accessibility, ethics, and legal considerations are important to consider when creating web pages.

*The courseware is not required to sit for the certification exam.
