Advanced Certificate in Internet & Web Programming Online Course
Introduction
In the Advanced Certificate in Internet and Web Programming you will learn to develop professional Rich Internet Application (RIA) websites using powerful software technologies. You will mainly learn to program both the “client-side” of web programming.
You will begin by learning XHTML and Cascading Style sheets (CSS). Then you will learn to program in the popular JavaScript programming language. Programming novices will find that the material in the JavaScript modules presents a solid foundation for the deeper treatment of scripting in later in the course. After that we move onto Rich Internet Application (RIA) Development—which covers XML, AJAX, Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex and Microsoft Silverlight.
The course also teaches you about the most important Web concepts and trends in preparation for job interviews and the CIW Exams.
This course also covers the objectives for the following Certified Internet Web Master Exams:
- CIW Internet Business Associate
- CIW Web Design Specialist (Formerly CIW Site Designer)
- CIW JavaScript Specialist
