With HTML 5 getting near to becoming a standard, I have updated my courses that relate to developing Web applications on z/OS. These courses do not require using any server other than the free HTTP servers that come with z/OS; they do not require CICS. Classic z/OS application developers (programmers using COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, and C) can quickly learn how to develop interesting, rich web pages to be served from z/OS. Some details: "You and z/OS and the World Wide Web" - 5 days, includes: * Thorough introduction to HTML and XHTML (based on HTML 4.1 and XHTML 1.0, with info on HTML 5 differences): - Markup - Links and anchors - Style - Lists - Images and maps - Applets - Objects - Multimedia (pdf, mov, swf) - Forms and controls - Cookies and hidden controls - Tables - Frames and framesets - IFrames - Page validation * Introduction to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) * Introduction to ECMAScript (a.k.a. JavaScript) * The Document Object Model (DOM) and scripting Pre-requisite: Introduction to z/OS UNIX - 3 days or equivalent knowledge.
