About BBC Media Action 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.
