What Web Designing covers

Web Designing in Computer Science Level 6 takes you from an empty text file to a styled, interactive web page. You start with HTML basics: the terminologies, creating an HTML file and the core elements, then basic elements and the attributes added to them. Layout elements and their attributes give the page its structure, and styles follow, first as internal styles and then as an external CSS file. The second half turns to JavaScript: its purpose and syntax, accessing and changing element attributes through the Document Object Model, data types and array operations, and functions that are created, invoked and made to return values. The unit closes with libraries, where jQuery is installed, referenced and used for syntax, events and DOM manipulation.
