Opera Web Standards Curriculum

Making Opera WSC work for you

For educators
Pass on Web Standards and good development practices to the next generation of Web developers. Opera's Web Standards Curriculum deconstructs Web Standards into modules you can teach either in order or as part of your own lesson plans.

For students
If your course already teaches Web Standards and best practices, then great - why not supplement your course texts with our material? If not, then lobby your teachers to adopt our material, thereby helping to improve the relevance of their lessons to real-world web development.

For Web developers
Web Standards have never been easier to learn. Everything you need to know is condensed into short, helpful tutorials that inform and inspire. Opera's Web Standards Curriculum can help you brush up on things you know and maybe even teach you something you didn't.

For businesses
Opera's Web Standards Curriculum is ideal for in-house training. Empower your development team to use Web Standards that reduce bandwidth, spur innovation and promote good coding practices across the Web.

For the Web
The beauty of the Web is that it creates a uniform, international development platform. Using Web Standards means your sites will be quicker to code and maintain, more compact, and accessible to web users regardless of their browsing platform and (dis)ability.
