This course provides an introduction to HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. This course helps students gain basic HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript programming skills. This course is an entry point into both the Web application and Windows Store apps training paths. The course focuses on using HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript to implement programming logic, define and use variables, perform looping and branching, develop user interfaces, capture and validate user input, store data, and create well-structured application.
The lab scenarios in this course are selected to support and demonstrate the structure of various application scenarios. They are intended to focus on the principles and coding components/structures that are used to establish an HTML5 software application.
This course uses Visual Studio 2012, running on Windows 8.

Nous limitons par principe, à 8 (voire 10), le nombre de personnes par formation.
Nos formations "calendrier" sont données en français sur la version courante du logiciel anglais.
Toutes peuvent être organisées sur mesure (durée et contenu personnalisés).
La plupart de nos formations peuvent être assurées en langue française, luxembourgeoise, anglaise ou allemande.
