HTML5 Training Course
Course Summary
HTML5 is everywhere, and is a technology that can no longer be ignored or treated as a mere extension of HTML4.
HTML5 is a vast umbrella term for modern Front End Engineering, namely JavaScript, Markup, DeviceAPIs, and Styles.
Almost anything you see in App Stores can now be created with pure HTML5.
Although we will cover some of the most exciting features of HTML5 such as geolocation, web sockets, local storage, SVG and Canvas, the focus of the course will be to help people understand the core principles and best practices for creating websites and apps.
