Murach's HTML5 and CSS3
This book isn't a generalized survey text, but an in-depth text for career-oriented curricula.
So using the first 6 chapters, you can teach your students a professional subset of the HTML and CSS skills they need to produce today's cutting-edge web sites...more sophisticated skills than you'll find in most other full books! To be specific, that means:
- Your students will be using HTML5 semantic tags to structure the page content so it can be easily formatted, so it provides for user accessibility, and so it delivers more-relevant search engine results.
- They'll be using CSS3 features to format and lay out pages. That includes producing effects like text and border shadows, rounded corners, and gradients that used to require the use of extra images and tedious coding.
Once you've completed the subset, you can cover any additional subjects you want, in any order. That includes subjects that have been standard in HTML courses, like handling links, lists, images, and tables. But here's a sampling of some others:
- Chapter 10 shows your students how to use HTML5 features to create good-looking forms and validate input data without using JavaScript.
- Chapter 11 shows your students how to add audio and video clips to a site, taking advantage of the players that are built into most browsers nowadays.
- Chapter 12 shows your students how to format web pages for printing.
- Chapter 13 shows your students how to use tested JavaScript code so they can start adding features like image rollovers and slide shows to their sites right away…a terrific way to whet their appetite for any JavaScript course in your curriculum.
- Chapter 14 shows how to use incorporate jQuery routines for features like accordions, carousels, popup dialog boxes, and sortable lists.
- Chapter 15 on jQuery Mobile shows your students how easy it now is to create web pages for mobile devices with the look and feel of native applications...a skill they all want to master.
- Chapter 16 shows your students how to embed fonts in their web pages, freeing them to design pages with the fonts they want to use.
