Kapi‘olani Community College, University of Hawai‘i - NMA Interface Design
Interface Programming 1 introduces HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Students learn how to take static designs from Photoshop and convert them into coded interactive web sites using well formed, web standard compliant markup and styling.
The predominant underlying markup technology behind the web is HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). Together with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript, HTML web sites can be powerful, flexible, usable, accessible, and beautiful. This class is catered toward visual web designers who need to be able to convert visually creative designs into interactive working web sites. During the first few weeks of the semester we will learn the basics of markup (HTML), styling (CSS), and scripting (JavaScript). During the remaining weeks of the semester, we take an existing design from Photoshop and use it to go through the final stages of the design process for interface design of building and testing a HTML web site.
