Teach yourself web standards
by Rob Mason ~ July 9th, 2008 Filed under: Web standards.
Brilliant idea from the guys at Opera called Opera Web Standards Curriculum, essentially:
a complete course to teach you standards-based web development, including HTML, CSS, design principles and background theory, and JavaScript basics.
The biggest failing with many current courses and qualifications from universities and other education organisations, is they’re out of date. The web moves so fast, yet some courses are teaching theory and practise from 10 years ago! Let’s hope this movement will encourage these organisations into the modern age and start teaching proper web courses.
I myself will be following to help brush up on existing skills and hopefully develop new ones, specifically design theory and JavaScript.
