What is HTML5 & CSS3 Training?

Our 1-day HTML5 & CSS3 training course will teach you the latest features in web development and give you the tools to start building better content for the web.

HTML5 and CSS3 Training

The web is evolving. Web pages have become applications. Web content is now read on a wide variety of devices. HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript provide front-end developers with the tools to create content for any platform.

Why are HTML5 & CSS3 Important?

HTML5 & CSS3 are the latest versions of the web's standard markup language, and includes a range of new features, tags and functionality. These allow for more flexibility when designing for desktops, and - perhaps more importantly - provides a new standard for the development of web content and web apps for mobile.

CSS3 allows developers to design more flexible and dynamic stylesheets, which can respond to a user's device, screen size and orientation, and also the user's behaviour. It can be used to add effects to page elements, and even to skew, re-size, rotate and transform page elements without the use of animation software like Flash.

We also provide private and in-company HTML5 & CSS3 courses. Call +44 (0)1273 622272 to discuss.

The small class size meant the trainer had time to address individual needs. Nic was relaxed and informal, which made everyone feel at ease and able to go at their own pace.

Every subject was covered clearly, especially as my knowledge wasn't that great - the tutor made it very easy to understand.

I undertook the HTML5 and CSS3 5 day course package earlier in the year I found the trainer for the course was exceptional, the example material which we worked from has been like a bible, I have already built my first practice website but more importantly I am able to understand, make suggestions and work more diligently with the development and production teams at work. As a complete beginner complex looking HTML was simplified to make total sense, within 4 weeks of putting into practice what I had learnt I was optimizing my first website for responsive design!
