Introduction to Computing and Programming – 1 day

In this module the student will explore the terminology of the web development world and get started with the editors and tools used to create web sites. We will also explore modern networking concepts including protocols, IP addressing and network security. They will also learn core concepts of data, databases and big data.

HTML5/CSS – 4 days

HTML has moved from a markup language for scientific documentation into just about every user interface you use today. Obviously used in internet web pages, HTML is also used in cell phones, help files, email and even as the primary user interface for traditionally desktop-based applications like accounts payables. The student will learn to build HTML pages with text, links, images, tables and forms plus use style sheets (CSS) for colors, backgrounds, formatting text and page layout.
