July 9, 2008 (Computerworld) The company behind the Opera Web browser has released a free online curriculum to encourage student and professional Web developers to create standards-based Web sites.
In an announcement yesterday, Opera Software ASA said it launched the effort to help set the pace of Web standards education and training in secondary schools, colleges, universities and businesses.
Under the project, Opera has created an online Web Standards Curriculum, which provides detailed information and lessons about Web design and development using standards-based coding. The online curriculum so far includes 23 articles, with more than 30 to come, according to Thomas Ford, communications manager for the Oslo-based company.
"This is essentially a curriculum for teaching standards-based Web design," Ford said. Many existing materials on the subject are out of date or incomplete, he said, so Chris Mills, developer relations manager at Opera, created the company's own version of a training course. "We wanted something that was easy to understand. Chris saw a lack of good standards-based design materials," Ford said.
