RESCHEDULED: Intermediate HTML + CSS

Ready to expand your knowledge of HTML & CSS? This class is for you!

Through the course of this 8-hour class, you'll get a thorough introduction to HTML5 & CSS3 to build on your previous knowledge. You'll get hands-on experience working with HTML5 features like semantic elements and forms, and you'll learn the newest CSS3 properties and abilities including transformations, transitions, and animation. Finally, we'll dig into responsive design and browser compatibility. You'll leave with readily-applicable skills and we'll be there to answer any questions you may have along the way! This is an 8-hour class and it is recommended that you have previous knowledge of HTML and CSS.
