In this course, author Chris Converse develops an interactive video gallery for the web, working in a coding environment using a combination of HTML5 with a Flash fallback, CSS, and the open-source JavaScript library jQuery. The course shows how to design the site layout and construct the code for a player that works on multiple web browsers, platforms, and mobile devices. Techniques to enable HTML5 video on Android and ensure that older versions of Internet Explorer default to Flash instead of HTML5 are also demonstrated. Exercise files accompany the course.

Topics include:

* Preparing the graphics

* Adding and linking thumbnail buttons

* Designing the layout

* Adding jQuery and JavaScript

* Including video information in the thumbnail links

* Styling the thumbnails with CSS rules

* Creating a DIV container to hold the video player code
