This course will give a good grounding on using the Selenium Web Application Testing Framework. Selenium is a popular tool used by the top web companies like Google, Mozilla, Microsoft and many more.

By the end of the course, participants will have the confidence to automate most web applications. This will then give you the confidence that your application works as it is intended.

In the Open Web world, we are often working with other peoples' code. Reading code helps to us to appreciate that there's no magic black box around "other peoples' code"; that it all comes down to logic; that every program has errors; and that sometimes reading the code is the best documentation.

This course will remind us that there is no magic-- only logic. We will dive into the mini universes of open source projects and learn techniques for getting oriented in projects large and small, debugging, stack traces, and simply getting comfortable reading code.

Instructional Design is a field of study that's directly related to cognitive and behavioral sciences. Its main objective is to maximize the experience of teaching and learning on special environments. This course is focused on VLE (Virtual Learning Environments). Many of the VLEs we have today are just file storage systems or discussion boards. Our mission then is to build interfaces, based on Ergonomics and Aesthetics concepts, that are easy to use, visually attractive and that motivate the users (not only students, but teachers as well) to participate on an active manner, not a passive one.

The course starts with an introduction to Infodesign, Human-centered design and Gestalt and Cognitive principles, so that every solution proposed can be coherently reasoned.

Before effectively proposing solutions to different learning scenarios, some "Personas-based" exercises will be done, so that the Designer can put him/herself into the role of the user.

After knowing the target audience, group exercises will happen around some specific questions: how can Instructional Design make the level of interaction among students, teachers and classmates to resemble the one they have when on conventional teaching methodologies? How can the basic principles of Gestalt and Cognitive sciences build the easiest path to things? How to work with open web standards and accessibility? How to explore multimedia content?

The course ends with rough concepts made into mock-up or prototypes, that are thoroughly analyzed via multi design thinking tools.

The student that attends this course will be able to develop user experience designs to be applied to various systems.

ECMAScript (más conocido como Javascript) es el lenguaje de programación interpretado de manera nativa por los navegadores de Internet (browsers) y se ha convertido en un elemento indispensable del desarrollo de sitios web. En este curso aprenderemos las bases, la sintaxis y las principales construcciones del lenguaje, su interacción con la ventana del navegador y con el documento HTML, o más específicamente, con el Modelo de Objeto del Documento (Document Object Model o simplemente DOM). Esto constituirá la base para avanzar posteriormente a las complicaciones adicionales que introduce su empleo para hacer actualizaciones asíncronas de las páginas web (lo que también se conoce comúnmente como AJAX).

This is an introduction to contributing to the open source platform that P2PU runs on: Lernanta. Lernanta is based on (also referred to as a fork of) Mozilla's Batucada project and is a Python/Django web application whose code is on GitHub.

We'll walk through the whole process together from getting the code, running it locally, finding a bug to fix, fixing the bug, and contributing the fix to the Lernanta project.

jQuery is fast becoming a must-have skill for front-end developers and for those who have decided to learn the language but have found the jargon to confusing....then this course is for you. The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the jQuery library and to explain the fundamentals in an easy and understandable way possible. And to offer real world projects to get your teeth stuck into.

When you're done with the course, you should be able to complete basic tasks using jQuery, and have a solid basis from which to continue your learning.The best way to learn is by doing, so this course will be very much hands on.

We are going to be following along with Rebecca Murphy's jQuery Fundamentals online book and using the offline learning kit supplied by Addy Osmani. And in edition i will be using my own tutorials and towards the end of the course we will be visiting some of my favourite tutorials, which will be fun and should snap everything into place. I will say that even though i know jQuery, i am no way an expert so i will also be learning as we go.
