The Building Blocks of the Internet - Mark Winteringham

About This Course

Welcome to the Building Blocks of the Internet, a six-part course that looks at the fundamental technologies that make up websites and web pages. This course gives those who are new to web technologies an introduction to the following:

• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript
• Network protocols focussed on HTTP
• Network protocol security

You will learn what these technologies are, how they work and how to test them. So you can:

• Work with these technologies to build your own testing project.
• Quickly analyse web pages and test individual parts of a site.
• Understand the underlying principles of the web that are used not just for web pages but in popular automation tools such as Selenium WebDriver.

Resources you'll use throughout this course:

• Atom: a text editing tool.
• JS Bin: A live pastebin for HTML, CSS & JavaScript and a range of processors.
• WC3 Validator: This validator checks the markup validity of web documents.

The course is 45 minutes long and packed with 3-4 hours worth of exercises for you to try out!
