Modern organizations depend heavily on the web to perform core business operations such as marketing, advertising, and selling products, providing services, and communicating with customers, partner organizations, and employees. Whatever you're creating on the web, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript™ likely play an important role. These three languages provide the core toolkit for anyone looking to perform web development work. This course covers the fundamentals of web development using these three languages.
Course Objectives
