The modern web is a three-legged-stool: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Without all three legs, your sites are very limited.
jQuery provides a relatively easy way for designers to use plug-ins that encapsulate all the JavaScript required to provide features such as slideshows, calendar widgets, carousels, form validation, tabbed areas, accordions, and more.
By the end of this course, you'll know how to set up all of these features, without needing to become a programmer. We'll teach you just enough JavaScript so you can feel confident installing a wide variety of jQuery plugins, and provide recipes for all the common things you'll want to do.
When you sign up for the full course package, you'll get access to the Course Portal, with all four hours of lessons for each of the three courses: 12 hours total. You can watch the recordings at your own pace, and download the slides and sample code files so you can follow along.
You'll also be invited to join an online group, where the instructors will answer questions.
This class is intended for designers who aren't technically oriented but want to take advantage of the interactive effects available with JavaScript and jQuery.
No JavaScript or jQuery knowledge is assumed, but you should be comfortable with the basics of HTML, CSS, and how web pages work.
“Webvanta‘s online HTML5/CSS3 course gave a practical look into the current markup languages that was essential to me as a web designer. They gave instruction with application in mind, rather than spending time on general theory, which I appreciated.”

“Great overview of some of the key technologies needed for website development; saved me lots of time by focusing on mainstream, best-practice approaches to solving these problems, with an emphasis on where things are headed. Delivered in a friendly, interactive, right-paced manner with lots of straightforward coding samples from accomplished professionals.”
— John Henel
“The Design for the Mobile Web course was excellent. The clear and concise examples showed how, why and when to build web apps versus a fully native app, how to structure user interfaces for different devices, and how
to optimize the app to target devices.”
— Dave Corbin
“These courses helped to focus my attention on those areas I want to learn more about, and those I don't ... which is just as important! The combination of live instruction, slides, and recorded archives with sample files made for a comprehensive course that is typical of Webvanta's thorough and quality approach to everything they do.”

Includes all three courses, 12 lessons in total.
