Overview

“Front-end” (or “client-side”) Web development involves using JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and jQuery to make interactive applications that run inside a Web browser and can communicate with a Web server running remotely. HTML and CSS are the basic building blocks of Web pages. JavaScript is a full-fledged programming language and is the part that connects all the others together. jQuery is an open-source library that simplifies complex JavaScript applications, and jQuery UI enables you to build rich interfaces and basic widgets. In addition, front-end Web developers need to understand how to use the version control program Git and the collaboration website GitHub.

This course has been curated from three best-selling video training courses in the LiveLessons series. Marty Hall’sJavaScript, jQuery and jQuery UI full course is supplemented by selections from Learning HTML & CSS by Jennifer Kyrnin and Git & Github by Peter Bell to provide a full learning path for front-end Web development.

This Complete Video Course offers

  • More than 22 hours of video training
  • A pre-assessment test to gauge your understanding of fundamental HTML and CSS concepts
  • End-of-module quizzes to check your understanding of important topics every Web developer needs to know
  • Access to exercise files for hands-on practice and solutions to check against your work

Once complete, you will have the basic skills necessary to work as a front-end Web developer.

Who Should Take This Complete Video Course:

  • All beginning front-end Web developers 
  • Programmers who know other languages but are new to JavaScript

People in the first category should go through every topic in order, whereas programmers in the second category can skim the first two JavaScript topics (and possibly the HTML and CSS sections) before slowing down and going through the other topics in detail.

Course Requirements

  • No HTML or CSS experience required
  • No prior programming experience required
  • Basic experience using text editors and managing files

Modules 1-4: JavaScript, HTML & CSS, jQuery and jQuery UI Basics

In Modules 1-4 covering JavaScript, jQuery and jQuery UI Basics, expert JavaScript developer, instructor, and author Marty Hall provides a practical, hands-on introduction to front-end Web programming with JavaScript, jQuery, jQuery UI, along with the basics of HTML, and CSS

  • jQuery, the wildly popular open-source library that dramatically simplifies complex JavaScript applications
  • jQuery UI, a library built on top of jQuery that provides dialog boxes, popup calendars, autocompleting text fields, and other rich widgets that are not part of standard HTML

Each section provides details on the most important topics, surveys more advanced or lesser-used topics, stresses best practices, and provides plenty of working examples.
