Our Web Development Level 2 Book Is Here!

Our Web Development Level 2 book is shipping! We take CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) way beyond text styling and see what they can really do. You’ll center align div tags and create 2 and 3 column layouts using relative positioning. You’ll learn how to float elements into position, how “inline” versus “block” elements work, how to create rollovers with CSS instead of JavaScript, and much more. It is now available on our website. If you prefer to take a class, the book is provided as part of Web Development Level 2. This book/class is the gateway to all our more advanced coding courses such as JavaScript, WordPress, and Mobile & Responsive.

Craig Maher Goes Responsive

Craig Maher took our Mobile & Responsive Web Design class back in January, and he has since redesigned and retooled his website modulationdesign.com to be completely responsive. We think it looks fantastic! Make sure you reduce the browser width or view it on a mobile device to see the responsive adaptation.

In Craig’s own words:

After taking this class my entire approach to web design & development was transformed. Dan’s incredible plethora of knowledge enlightened me with a whole new understanding of how I can apply this responsive approach to any “real life” project. Not only was I capable of designing & programming my new site (with Twitter Bootstrap) but this class also supplied me with a whole new web lexicon when dealing with potential clients. Now I am able to explain the process of “mobile & responsive” design “from beginning to end.” Having this in my tool belt has given me a technological edge and has proven extremely invaluable in today’s competitive market.”

Congratulations to Noble alumnus, Craig Maher!
