Introduction to W3C Mobile Web and Application Best Practices

W3C is pleased to announce its latest online training course:
Introduction to Mobile Web and Application Best Practices.

This represents a substantial revision of the popular course that ran 
several times between 2008 and 2010 and includes a lot of new material 
concerning Web applications. Delivered online over 8 weeks, the new 
course will help Web designers and content producers who are already 
familiar with the desktop world to become familiar with the Web as 
delivered on mobile devices. It is based entirely on W3C standards, 
particularly the Mobile Web Best Practices and Mobile Web Application 
Best Practices.

Participants will:
• learn about and use the recommended versions of HTML and CSS to
   use for mobile today;
• understand the constraints of working on mobile and how to overcome
   them to deliver the best possible experience to the widest range of
   users;
• practice client side and server side content adaptation techniques;
• learn about and use the exciting new APIs available on modern mobile
   platforms.

The course will be taught by Phil Archer who was a member of the Mobile 
Web Best Practices Working Group from the outset. Phil is an 
acknowledged contributor to many W3C Recommendations related to mobile 
and gained praise from participants in the earlier course for his 
enthusiasm and subject knowledge.

The full price for the Introduction to Mobile Web and Application Best 
Practices is €195 but there are two early bird periods. From now until 
Friday 6th of May you can enrol for just €95. The second early bird 
period runs until Friday 27th May at €145.

Full details of the course and how to register are available at
