About This Course
On this course from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, you’ll first build a website using HTML, style it with CSS, and then make it interactive using JavaScript.
Along the way you’ll learn about the box model, which describes how websites are laid out by browsers, and about the Document Object Model, which your JavaScript code will interact with to dynamically change your web pages.
In the final week, you’ll design and create a quiz web page and demonstrate your new skills by making your own website.
What topics will you cover?
- HTML tags and attributes
- Styling web pages using CSS
- CSS classes and ids for styling web page elements
- Layouts in CSS, including the box model and responsive design
