The Web Development Boot Camp training course is designed to take a novice or beginning Web Designer all the way from the basics of page markup through the development of sophisticated, interactive client-side web applications. You will initially learn to create HTML and XHTML-based web pages that are attractive, easily modifiable and re-usable. An emphasis is placed on separation of the page content from the design and presentation of that content using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
The final section of the bootcamp will “pull it all together” with AJAX – the Asynchronous JavaScript and XML technique. This section will show you to send and retrieve XML documents from a server, extract data (XML) from that document (using JavaScript), and subsequently use that data to modify the content (X/HTML) and display (CSS) of the local web page.
