Welcome to Web Development
The web is the future of personal life and business life. You can virtually do anything that you put your mind to on the web. With the web You can go From running your own home business, start working for another business or handling your social life. The web is the window of opportunity and you should jump into it before you stay behind and miss what the web can offer. With some web training you can start your path to work from home, work with web sites, or even find out if web development is for you. The training that Blind Access Training offers is an overview of what web development is all about. We cover the following topic’s; HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. These topic’s are a great starting point for the web developer because it gets them thinking about how to write code, what it involves and if he or she is ready for web development.
HTML
HTML is a great starting point for web developers because the syntax is not on the difficult side of web development. The code for HTML is consistent for the most part so there are no worries about it changing often. The other great thing about training in HTML first is that we do not need a server or anything fancy to view our output. All we need is Notepad, a computer with a keyboard, a screen reader if you use one, and any Browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc… Blind Access Training trains in HTML 4 but can also train in 5 if the client wants to learn the new additions to HTML 5. Please note that there is not a set date for HTML 5 to be released and most browsers do not fully support some of the elements that are introduced. There is not a set list of elements yet but we do know of some that will be introduced in HTML 5 and we stay updated to any that get added on as time goes by. We will not cover any deprecated elements along with any of the older Doctypes. We also do not train in HTML frames because of accessibility reasons. We cover all aspects that deal with creating accessible web sites with HTML. For a closer view of what we teach please visit the training schedule and look under HTML.
CSS
CSS got introduced with HTML 4 to provide a new method of styling web sites. Styling used to be done with HTML but HTML is a markup language and should not be used for styling. There are benefits for using CSS for the styling of web pages. Some of them are; the ability to put all of your styling rules in one document to add it to all pages, the relief of all of the typing that had to be done when HTML was used to style, and new styling ways for elements. CSS can virtually style any element that HTML has. CSS can also be added to HTML in three ways to your page. To learn more about what we train in with CSS please visit the training schedule.
PHP
PHP is a server side scripting language. A server side scripting language means that the scripts will run from the server that is managing your site. For PHP to be able to work you must have PHP installed on your server and your files must have an extension of PHP. PHP is used to give more functionality to your site and to allow you to work with data bases. PHP is a programming language but does not require extended programming knowledge. It was intended for web developers to be able to add scripts to sites without taking computer programming classes. For more information please visit the training schedule.
JAVA Script
JAVA Script is a browser side scripting language. Browser side means that the scripts run on the browser and not the servers. JAVA Script was created to add more functionality to web sites. JAVA Script is supported in all major browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc… JAVA Script can be used for validation and more. To find out more about what we train in please visit the training schedule.
Scripting
Our scripting services allow you to submit a script idea to use on your site. We will creat the script for you and once completed we send it to you for your personal use. We also send instructions on how to add it to your site and a basic explaination of how it works. You get to choose weather you want the script in JAVA Script or PHP. We give this option for those who are not running PHP on there servers or have JAVA Script disabled on there browsers.
