This program bundles five topics: GitHub, a culture of agility, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. By the end of the course, students should know how to use GitHub for version control and collaboration, contribute to an organization’s culture of success using Agile, and identify programming features and capabilities to write, debug, and maintain well-structured HTML and CSS code. Students will build on these skills by using JavaScript code for supported data types and write simple code. Additionally, students should be prepared to pass each Certiport IT Specialist exam for HTML and CSS and JavaScript.
