About the Course
During this 2-day course, participants will learn the most popular, useful, and well-supported pieces of CSS3 through a series of practical but innovative projects. Participants learn by completing a number of practical exercises involving the new techniques of CSS3 to produce a finished web page or section of a page. Participants can adapt these exercises to their own projects, or use them as inspiration for completely different ways to creatively use the new properties, selectors and values they have learnt.
Who should do this course?
This CSS3 course is for web designers who already have experience using CSS, but want to take their sites and skills to the next level. This course assumes that participants know HTML and CSS syntax and terminology, but you don’t need have any experience using anything that is new to CSS3. Weather you’ve just started using CSS or have been developing sites with it for years, this course will teach you powerful new techniques to add to your CSS toolkit.
