HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript: Why They Are Important to You and How They Fit Together

In this class we will talk about the client-side web technologies HTML5, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and the JavaScript API (application programming interface), and we will look at how they are relevant to Autodesk, Inc., technologies such as the Autodesk 3D viewer technology. You will discover how these technologies fit with each other, what they do well, and where they are best avoided. We will also examine examples that use these technologies together with Autodesk technologies, and we will discuss where you should start if you are new to these technologies. Finally, the class will talk about enabling frameworks built on top of the JavaScript API, such as jQuery, Angular, and ThreeJS, which make using these technologies more delightful and powerful.
