In this module, you’ll begin your journey into web development by exploring HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the foundational language for structuring content on the web. You’ll gain a clear understanding of HTML5, including its key features, benefits, and how it differs from other markup languages like XML. You'll learn how modern browsers interpret and support HTML5, how scripting is enabled, and how the Document Object Model (DOM) allows dynamic interaction with webpage content. You’ll also work hands-on in JSFiddle, an online code editor, where you'll experiment with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in an interactive coding environment. This module includes real-world insights from web professionals to give you a practical understanding of how HTML and CSS are used in development teams today. By the end of this module, you’ll have a strong foundation in HTML5 structure, scripting capabilities, and browser support—setting the stage for your future work with CSS and JavaScript.

In this module, you will explore the foundational elements of HTML5 and CSS. HTML5 offers a range of structural elements that allow developers to create well-structured and interactive websites. You will learn about various HTML5 elements that divide a document into divisions, create headers and footers, define sections, and structure content with headings and the body of the document. Additionally, you will explore HTML5 elements that allow users to interact with the website, inputting information in formats such as dates, times, numbers, email addresses, and more. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) plays a crucial role in styling HTML elements. By combining HTML5 and CSS, developers can build visually appealing and responsive web applications. This module covers how CSS can be used to format the layout, appearance, and behavior of HTML elements, and it introduces CSS frameworks like Tailwind and Bootstrap for building responsive web pages. Through hands-on labs, you will practice applying HTML5 structural elements and CSS styling to create functional and visually appealing web pages, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the role of CSS selectors and responsive design.

You now have a website or cloud application built with a solid structure and content provided by HTML, along with consistent styling achieved through CSS. To enhance interactivity and provide a dynamic user experience, you will integrate JavaScript into your project. In this module, you will explore the fundamentals of JavaScript, including its syntax, variables, control structures, functions, and prototypes. You will also learn about common array methods and how to use JavaScript APIs to manipulate HTML content and styles, access the Document Object Model, and handle events using client-side scripting. Hands-on labs will guide you through practical exercises like form validation, DOM manipulation, and real-time content updates. You will also practice writing and debugging scripts using tools such as the browser console and JSFiddle. By the end of this module, you will be able to create highly interactive and responsive web applications that react to user input and enhance the overall functionality of your site.

In this module, you will apply your knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build a complete web application. You will take on the role of a web developer working for ABC Consultant, a well-known placement firm that assists individuals with less than five years of experience in finding suitable employment opportunities. As a web developer, your task is to design and develop a single static portfolio webpage for one of the firm’s clients. This portfolio will showcase the client’s skills, background, and accomplishments and will be used to introduce them to prospective employers. By completing this project, you will demonstrate your ability to structure content using HTML, apply styling through CSS, and incorporate interactivity using JavaScript to create a professional, user-friendly web experience.
