Introduction to HTML and CSS
Get started creating web pages with HTML and CSS, the basic building blocks of web development. HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is a standard set of tags you will use to tell the web browser how the content of your web pages and applications are structured. Use CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, to select HTML tags and tell the browser what your content should look like. Whether you are coding for fun or planning to start a career in web development, learning HTML and CSS is a great place to start.

Debugging JavaScript in the Browser
JavaScript programs are mysterious and hidden realms where magic happens. This can be delightful when everything is working. During development, though, things often won't work so well, and understanding why can be hard. You need a way to dispell the fog and see everything clearly. In this workshop we'll learn how to use a tool that professionals rely on to get crucial insights into their JavaScript programs: Chrome's Developer Tools (DevTools). With DevTools, you can get amazing access to the inner workings of your program while it runs, controlling how it executes with fine-grained control. This means that once you learn the DevTools arts, you can find and fix problems in a snap! Prerequisite Course For best results, we recommend first taking the following course: * DOM Scripting By Example (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/dom-scripting-by-example)

Object-Oriented Python
Sometimes simple scripts with functions in them just aren't enough. Eventually you'll need logical models of your work and that'll lead you to creating custom classes in Python. Object-oriented programming is a large topic. It provides us some amazing tools, though, so it's one of the most beneficial things to learn about in Python. First, you'll learn how to build basic custom classes. Then, you'll expand them through inheritance. And for some extra power, you'll also learn how to take control of Python's built-in classes to make your own more powerful while doing less work. Finally, we'll put everything together into a fun game utility.

Using Databases in Python
When you want to store data from a program, you have two general choices: files or databases. In this course, we're going to explore using a database from within Python by using the excellent ORM Peewee. We'll build a command line diary application that stores our thoughts and notes in a SQLite database, lets us review and delete them, and even has a search feature!

Flask REST API
Building an API with Flask can be pretty simple but you'll often end up with a large amount of code in just one or two files. In other words, it can be messy! But with a few simple tools like Flask-RESTFul, Flask-Limiter, and Flask-HTTPAuth, you can build a clean, well-organized, and strong API with this great, lightweight Python framework.

AJAX Basics
AJAX is an important front-end web technology that lets JavaScript communicate with a web server. It lets you load new content without leaving the current page, creating a better, faster experience for your website's visitors. In this course, you'll learn how AJAX works and how you can use JavaScript to communicate with a web server. We'll use plain JavaScript to create AJAX requests and use the response to dynamically update your web pages. Along the way, you'll build mini-projects to reinforce your learning.
