Overview
This two day training course teaches web developers and code-savvy designers the building blocks to create interactive web and mobile applications with HTML5 and JavaScript.
Starting with setting up a development environment, you’ll look at making HTML5 applications backwards compatible with older browsers, as well as optimising applications for mobile devices.
You’ll learn how to use HTML5 Boilerplate to get your projects off the ground quickly, and also learn about JavaScript frameworks to bring structure and organisation to your code.
During the course we cover the canvas API for dynamic data visualisation; build an image gallery with transitions and gesture interaction (with touch screen compatibility); learn how to make an audio/video playlist and player; explore how to make web apps that can find your location on a map; create apps that will work offline and store data locally, and more.
It’s an intensive two days but based on what you’ll learn, it will be well worth your investment as you’ll have the skills to develop applications that work across multiple platforms – one of the reasons that HTML5 is a hot topic right now, as illustrated by this news item on the BBC website ‘Coding the future: HTML5 takes the internet by storm’
How will I benefit?
On completion of this course you'll be able to:
- Build upon what you have learned in the course, and extend the provided examples to make your own web application
- Make richer user experiences that run in the browser without the need for a plugin like Flash
- Debug your application in the browser, and use tools to preview & remotely inspect web apps on mobile devices
- Make HTML5 applications that are functional in older browsers
