What you'll learn

During the one-day interactive course you will:

  • Learn advanced three column CSS layout techniques (using floating and negative margins)
  • Discover how to lay out an entire web page using only floats (and not positioning)
  • Understand different browser interpretations of CSS (including Internet Explorer 6 & 7)
  • Find out how, when and why to use CSS hacks to send different commands to different browsers
  • Lay out a form without the use of any tables
  • Produce highly advanced list-based navigation effects (including CSS-driven dropdown menus)
  • Create curved borders (both with and without the use of background images)
  • Learn the different CSS shorthand properties to minimise the CSS file size
  • See first hand the next generation of CSS commands and the future of CSS

You'll also receive a free 80-page colour handbook that contains all tutorials.

The course is aimed at experienced developers that have been working with CSS for some time. If you've already started using CSS for layout then this course will help you take CSS to the edge to create cutting-edge, cross-browser web pages. If this course seems too advanced for you then check out our excellent intermediate CSS training.

Advanced CSS training philosophy

Our advanced CSS training follows one basic principle:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

Chinese proverb

Put simply, we don't want to implement advanced CSS on to your website - we want you to implement the CSS. The advanced CSS training lasts for one full day, during which time you'll complete a series of exercises designed for you to discover the answers by yourself and then put into practice what you've learnt.

By the end of the day, you'll have created a fully CSS-driven website and will have acquired a deep understanding of advanced CSS. As a result of our hands-on advanced CSS training, you'll have:

  • A deeper understanding of your new knowledge
  • Ownership of what you've learnt
  • The ability to apply what you've learnt again and again in the future
