Software Development Fundamentals: Web Accessibility and CSS

An understanding of web accessibility standards and CSS is fundamental to a career in software development. This introductory course will cover basic CSS styling elements, as well as testing and deployment practices for applications, so you can start working on development projects or add these stills to your CV.

Explore CSS applications in styling sheets

Build new skills in CSS, including a clear view of its purpose and application. You’ll then apply the theory to practical exercises to create simple markup for a prototype.

Being able to read and create styling elements means that you can adjust the rules that affect how HTML Is applied to a document, allowing you to define the layout across a website or application.

Understand the latest web accessibility requirements

Web accessibility guidelines are created to provide an international standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of people, organisations, and governments. You’ll review common web accessibility guidelines, and find out how HTML can be used to meet them.

Build your knowledge of testing and deployment processes

Testing before deployment is essential to ensure that your application will work in real-world conditions. You’ll learn how to finalise an application via testing and deployment practices before putting it live. You’ll complete that knowledge with a review of how to maintain an application once it has gone live, leveraging cloud computing practices.
