Do you write a lot of HTML, javascript, and jQuery to push and pull data? Does your javascript seem to lack the structure and patterns of your non script code? In this course you will learn popular techniques to use data binding to bind your data to your target controls in HTML writing less code, but gaining more power. See how to consume json data, use json objects in javascript, and use declarative binding all by using the KnockoutJS javascript library. Learn how the XAML data binding paradigm has been brought to the web world with observable objects, change notifications, subscriptions, and 2 way bindings. Explore modern javascript patterns and practices that follow the SOLID principles, reduce errors in your code, and make code easier to maintain. After taking this course you will have a solid foundation for building robust web apps using common javascript patterns, MVVM, and KnockoutJS.

The goal of the course is provide an end-to-end look at different technologies and show how they can be integrated together. With this new course, I walk through building an application from start to finish and discuss data repository classes, creating and using Model classes, ASP.NET MVC controllers and actions, converting Model objects to JSON, client-side technologies such as jQuery, javascript patterns, HTML5, Ajax calls, structuring code, plus a lot more. If you've been waiting for a course that ties everything together into one cohesive unit then I hope this course will help you out.

With HTML5 and CSS3 bursting onto the scene far more quickly than anticipated and the rapid spread of web-enabled smartphones and tablets, designing and building a website has suddenly become more complex. Fortunately, javascript libraries like jQuery reconcile browser incompatibilities and make light work of adding dynamic features, and Dreamweaver CS5.5 has risen to the challenge by providing the tools you need to build modern websites with HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery.

One of the most exciting additions that HTML5 offers to designers is the ability to draw free-form graphics on a drawing surface known as the Canvas. In this course, author Joe Marini introduces the technical concepts behind Canvas and shows how to perform drawing operations directly in a web page. The course covers drawing basic and complex shapes, setting colors and styles, adding shadows, patterns, and gradients, more advanced techniques such as scaling, rotating, and compositing objects, and how to incorporate Canvas elements in a slideshow and an animation. Exercise files are included with the course.

The advent of HTML5 has opened up new frontiers in the world of web design, and in this course you’ll learn how to exploit the power of HTML5 to make the best-looking, smoothest-functioning, and easiest-to-use web pages possible.

Markup is synonymous with the development of the web, but most people only scratch the surface of its capabilities. Why settle for average HTML, when you can become an HTML5 master?
