The HTML5, CSS & JavaScript for Modern Web Development course by Priyankar Bhattacharjee is a structured 8-week online program designed for learners who want to truly understand how the web works — not just copy and paste code. This course blends pre-recorded lessons, curated readings, hands-on coding assignments, and live instructor sessions to help students build strong foundational knowledge in front-end web development.

By the end of the program, students will create a fully functional, responsive, and interactive webpage from scratch — a portfolio-ready project that demonstrates real understanding of web technologies.

Priyankar Bhattacharjee, a PhD Researcher at IIIT-Delhi in the Department of Human-Centred Design, brings a unique perspective to teaching web development — combining coding fundamentals with usability, clarity, and design thinking principles. The course emphasizes building clean, accessible, and user-friendly websites.

This program is ideal for complete beginners, students exploring tech careers, designers transitioning into development, and anyone wanting a solid foundation in web technologies.
