Course HTML

HTML5 and CSS3 Training

HTML and CSS are the two languages that shape most websites on the internet. HTML dictates the content of a website (text, images, and media plugins) and CSS defines the style (colors, fonts, and layouts). Although HTML4 and CSS2 have been foundational in the development of a functional and stylistic internet, HTML5 and CSS3 represent the next step in web technologies. HTML5 and CSS3 are expected to become dominant technologies in developing interactive and aesthetically-appealing websites, and AcademyX's HTML5 training class will enable you to begin authoring, testing, and publishing content in these languages today, even as the standard itself continues to evolve. Your instructor brings years of web development and design experience to the classroom as well as a thorough understanding of the evolving technologies which comprise both HTML5 and CSS3. With AcademyX's teaching staff, you will not only learn the cutting edges that you will be able to apply your new knowledge faster.

History of HTML5, Syntactical Changes

Media and Form Validation

• Learn how to use the audio and video tags for embedding media without third-party plugins like Flash or Silverlight.
• Set videos and audio files to automatically play or loop. Enable or disable built-in browser media controls.
