Talk on HTML5, CSS and Web Standards
 Opera Web Evangelists Bruce Lawson and Patrick Lauke gave a free, 3-hour lecture to a packed audience of new media students and other web designers from Leeds on 5 May 2011. These leading figures in the fields of web design, development, standards and accessibility showcased some of the amazing things that can now be done with HTML5 and CSS3, inspiring all who were present.

What our graduates say:

"For me, the course was excellent, as it gave me a good insight into a broad range of disciplines but still allowed me to specialise in the area I wanted – interaction design."
Danny Blackman, Web Designer (from The Independent, May 2008).
"The New Media course taught me the importance of creativity and its position within a business model. It also gave me a comprehensive understanding of online media and a real confidence in working with clients who are at the forefront of using digital technology."
Will Oatley, New Media Advertising Planner.
"The course was very varied which allowed me to explore the different areas of new media and determine where my strengths lay."
Heena Mistry, Project Manager.
