Description
ABOUT THE COURSE
This course is for the beginner who wants to get a quick introduction to various popular front-end CSS frameworks by recreating the same project multiple times. By taking this course you'll get introduced to the latest versions of Bootstrap 4, Bulma, Semantic UI, Foundation 6 and Materialize. These frameworks are some of the most popular ones used today by web designers and developers all over the world.
In this course you'll learn how to create a Small Business Website using various popular front-end CSS frameworks. Using one framework at a time I will start from scratch and walk you through how to create the same project. The project created with each framework will have the same general layout and design, however there will be some small visual differences from project to project due to the specific features and styles of the various frameworks.
The idea behind re-creating the same project with different frameworks is to learn how each framework use different code structure, classes and attributes to create the same kind of component. You will also learn how each framework differ in the visual style of each component, and learn what is possible and what isn't with each framework.

Instructor
Hi there,
My name is Jeppe Schaumburg Jensen and I'm a teacher in topics related to front-end development, interaction design, music and productivity.
Front-end development
I started developing websites for desktop computers in 1999 and in 2000 I started developing my first websites for the mobile web as well.
I have been a graduate teaching assistant in an introductory course about web design and development.
I currently work as a front-end developer at one of the biggest global web agencies, Isobar.
Interaction design
I have a Master of Science in Information Technology with a specialization in Interaction Design and User Experience.
I have worked as a user experience designer at the biggest Danish online webshop: Saxo.
Music
When not working with the web I work as a professional musician, mostly playing the drums in various bands. I also consider myself as an expert in using Ableton Live for live performances, with a lot of experience in how to create and use backing tracks.
Productivity
I have spent many hours to improve my workflow and productivity by reading books about the topic and experimenting with different techniques, tools, software and apps.
