Description
Warning: I am no longer providing help or support for this course.
Learn AMP from scratch and become awesome at it! After the course, you will be able to offer to your clients to redesign their site in AMP, or add "AMP" in your CV to make you more employable as a front-end developer.
We will start with the absolute basics and progress until we can built stories, emails, ads and websites.
All examples are practical and are projects that I was asked to create by my clients. You will be able to apply your knowledge right away.
We will start by building a landing page for a veterinary hospital, create an AMP story for our history site, compose a dynamic email that updates its content and make a simple AMPHTML Ad.
We will also take a look at how to make our AMP pages interactive with AMP actions & events and amp-bind - we will built a URL navigating drop-down and an "Add to favorites" button.
Who this course is for:
- Web developers who wants to expand their knowledge of web development and AMP
- Freelancers
- Web design studio employees
- Front-end developers
Instructor
Meet Stefany
In my free time, I like to read books (history, historical fiction, philosophy, classics), knit, decoupage, re-watch Star Trek, learn languages (programming and human). I like board games (Go, 1775, Exploding Kittens) and computer ones (Age of Empires, Final Fantasy, Bioshock) I am also a karaoke superstar :-)
I started as a full-stack developer - wanted to learn everything from Java to database design. As time passed, I realized I can’t be everything all at once so I switched to front-end development.
AMP Journey
I had to learn AMP for a project and I fell in love with it. Fast and accessible, and you could build complex websites without JavaScript, which was great for me since I wanted to focus on semantics and presentation.
I became an AMP developer, reading and practicing AMP all the time.
Accessibility Journey
Like every other web developer, I had a lot of misinformation about accessibility, thinking that it was only needed if your target audience is disabled. When I found out that most of the websites are inaccessible and that accessibility is the last thing on our minds, I read more about it and realized how vital it is for a good web experience.
Since then, I concentrate on creating accessible AMP websites.
MODx Journey
Like every other developer, my first CMS websites were made with WordPress. I disliked how easily they could be hacked and as I continued freelancing, I’d get requests from new clients to “clean their WordPress website from malware”. Almost every WordPress developer / webmaster I met had one or more websites hacked.
I also disliked how error prone WP was and how one little mistake can shut down your website.
Then I discovered MODx!
MODx is my favorite CMS and I use it when clients need to update the content themselves. It is so secure and fast!
For clients who don’t need to update their content themselves, I build static sites.
You can contact me in English, Bulgarian and Dutch. I can also understand Russian.
