The Opera Web Standards Curriculum
Saturday, July 19th, 2008
As you may or may not know I study Multimedia Computing at MMU and a few months ago I attended a Web Standards talk by Chris Mills from Opera. The talk was aimed at people who were new to, or had only a little understand of the topic but it was still quite informative and a big step forward for the MMU computing department.
Until the release of the Opera Web Standards Curriculum last week (and subsequent blog posts) the new curriculum had slipped my mind so I thought I would quickly stick out a post about it.
I haven’t had a full look at the curriculum but with just a quick scan I spotted the following articles:
- The history of the Internet and the web, and the evolution of web standards.
- The Web Standards model – HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
- Information Architecture—planning out a web site.
- Colour schemes and design mockups.
- The basics of HTML
You can see that the content looks very promising and is something I’m hoping my university are supporting because I know how much further ahead in this game I would have been if I could have be taught some of this at uni.
I’m certainly going to look through the 23 articles released to date and see what I can gain and I think most web designers/developers should have a look too.
