Program

Module 1: Manage the Application Life Cycle

Understand the platform fundamentals

        • Packaging and the runtime environment: app package, app container, credentials/permission sets, host process, leverage existing HTML5 skills and content for slate/tablet applications.

    • Manage the state of an application

          • Manage session state, app state, and persist state information; understand states of an application; understand the differences between local and session storage.

    • Debug and test an HTML5-based, touch-enabled application

          • Touch gestures; understand which gestures you test on a device.

    • Publish an application to a store

          • Understand requirements for marketplace submissions.

Module 2: Build the User Interface by Using HTML5

    • Choose and configure HTML5 tags to display text content

    • Choose and configure HTML5 tags to display graphics

          • When, why, and how to use Canvas; when, why, and how to use scalable vector graphics (SVG).

    • Choose and configure HTML5 tags to play media

          • Video and audio tags.

    • Choose and configure HTML5 tags to organize content and forms

          • Tables, lists, sections; semantic HTML.

    • Choose and configure HTML5 tags for input and validation

Module 3: Format the User Interface by using Cascading Style Sheets(CSS)

Understand the core CSS concepts

        • Separate presentation from content (create content with HTML and style content with CSS); manage content flow (inline versus block flow); manage positioning of individual elements( float versus absolute positioning); manage content overflow (scrolling, visible, and hidden); basic CSS styling.

    • Arrange UI content by using CSS

          • Use flexible box and grid layouts to establish content alignment, direction, and orientation; proportional scaling and use of “free scale” for elements within a flexible box or grid; order and arrange content; concepts for using flex box for simple layouts and grid for complex layouts; grid content properties for rows and columns; use application templates.

    • Manage the flow of text content by using CSS

          • Regions and using regions to flow text content between multiple sections (content source, content container, dynamic flow, flow-into, flow-from, msRegionUpdate, msRegionOverflow, msGetRegionContent); columns and hyphenation and using these CSS settings to optimize the readability of text; use “positioned floats” to create text flow around a floating object.

    • Manage the graphical interface by using CSS

          • Graphics effects (rounded corners, shadows, transparency, background gradients, typography, and Web Open Font Format); two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) transformations (translate, scale, rotate, skew, and 3-D perspective transitions and animations); SVG filter effects; Canvas.

Module 4: Code by using JavaScript

    • Manage and maintain JavaScript

          • Create and use functions; jQuery and other third-party libraries.

    • Update the UI by using JavaScript

          • Locate/access elements; listen and respond to events; show and hide elements; update the content of elements; add elements.

    • Code animations by using JavaScript

          • Use animation; manipulate the canvas; work with images, shapes, and other graphics.

    • Access data access by using JavaScript

          • Send and receive data; transmit complex objects and parsing; load and save files; App Cache; datatypes; forms; cookies; localStorage.

    • Respond to the touch interface

          • Gestures, how to capture and respond to gestures.

    • Code additional HTML5 APIs

          • GeoLocation, Web Workers, WebSocket; File API.

    • Access device and operating system resources

          • In- memory resources, such as contact lists and calendar; hardware capabilities, such as GPS, accelerometer, and camera.
