We create the foundational three files of a website and link them together into the minimum viable combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Then, we start creating sites with just HTML to get the structure of elements on the page. You'll be able to make a site, but it will look like generic, early 1990s garbage. Nowhere to go but up!

We add some style into our lives by using a CSS stylesheet to decide the appearance and layout of our HTML elements. We also start to see the web in terms of the underlying, organizational components using wireframe sketches.

Now that we can put elements next to each other and give them a little CSS zazz, we're going to figure out how to make it look good on a phone.

In fact, we're going to start designing mobile-first sites that assume a user is on a small screen, then figure out what extra goodies our desktop users should get for having such big screens.

We'll take on the big project of our course and create the HTML and CSS behind the landing page we're building.

In this collaborative project workshop, we'll apply what we've learned so far and build a landing page piece by piece according to specifications.

Project: Spice up the generic wireframe and make the site your own!

We start using JavaScript to play around with the HTML elements we know and love.

Once we know how to access these elements in JS, we get to set up repeatable functions that fire whenever the user does on our page, like clicking a button.

Oooh, what does this button do???

We'll create interactive components that create a two-way web experience for our users. They'll be able to switch things on and off again, the most critical skill in engineering.

We'll start creating some truly dynamic elements with much greater potential to delight or annoy our users.

Pop-up forms, chat bot windows, menus sliding on and off screen....all these things and more are possible through clever use of UI Components and CSS's position property.

We'll finish our big project site before wrapping up the course with a look at the many things you should continue learning to build your skills.

You'll leave class with the confidence to keep trying out new things and learning as you go.

Bring on the error messages and stack overflow searches, because nothing can stop you now!
