Opera Web Standards Curriculum

Testimonials

"It has been now released and it's a wonderful piece of work. I will give it a full read and review in the next month and suggest things to Chris Mills. Now how can you help? Read it, use it in your Web agency, in your classroom, among your Web developers friends. Note what people misunderstood, suggest techniques to Chris Mills to improve his materials. Publish it on your blog, talk about it. Let it grow in the community. It's a cool work which comes from a long story and really it is beautiful story. Thanks to Chris Mills and Opera. They did it."

Karl Dubost, W3C

"Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for your web standards course. I am a completely self- taught graphic designer, and I specialize in print. I have been trying (un-successfully) to teach myself web design for some time now, and your course has helped me more in the last 5 days than all of the other materials I have been trying for the last few years combined."

Candie Sampson, Art Director, NarrowCasting

"Web development and design are ever evolving professions. Anyone teaching these subjects must ask themselves if they are equipping their students with best practices or burdening them with impractical methodologies. All of us in this field can benefit from this resource and use it as a catalyst to further the W3C vision of 'Web for Everyone. Web on Everything.'"

Glenda Sims, Senior Systems Analyst, University of Texas, United States

"This will be an invaluable resource for the teaching of Web Standards at all levels and will fill an important gap in the available resources about this important subject. This course will help students to learn the right way to implement Web design and will increase their understanding of the importance of Web Standards for creating valid Web resources."

Andrew Cobley, Lecturer in Internet Programming, Dundee University, United Kingdom

"As one of the world's premier Web technology companies, Yahoo! prides itself on following best practices and building the Web the right way to enable us to become the starting point on the Internet for our consumers. The Opera Web Standards Curriculum delivers exactly the spread of knowledge Yahoo! would expect a front-end developer to know."
