This course provides an introduction to client-side Web development. The course begins with a summary of how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fit together, and then goes into each of these three topics in sufficient detail to enable you to start creating your own Web pages.

The course does not assume prior experience in Web development. We cover everything you need to know about HTML and CSS. However, some programming experience is required for the JavaScript part of the course; you should be comfortable with programming concepts such as variables, loops, decision-making, and functions.
