About Web Development Training

We design and deliver web development courses in partnership with Beyond Broadcasting and BBC Media Action.

Training is based on hands-on exercises tailored for an audience with a broad range of skills, from video editors to programmers and journalists.

Front-end web development course

Frontend skills are brought to the trainees by turning a real world graphic design into HTML and CSS components.

Trainees get to learn about the following elements:

CSS frameworks;
content encoding;
responsive webdesign;
HTML and CSS 101.

Website Development

The Model/View/Presenter paradigm is brought to the trainees by integrating their HTML and CSS into a static website generator. Knowledge is then applied to a dynamic framework (like Laravel) to illustrate the same concepts with a programming language and a database server.

Trainees get to learn about the following elements:

code collaboration with git branching model;
templating a data-driven website;
evaluating and addressing web performance.

Designing a Living Styleguide

Designers and developers are brought together to create reusable visual components via a living styleguide. HTML and CSS components are abstracted into self-documented templates which can then be reused in any projects.

Trainees get to learn about the following elements:

visual language and how to design one;
state of the art of living styleguides;
building our own styleguide with a static website generator;
managing SVG assets.
