Why Learn Web Components? 🎓

• Modern Browsers Ready: Embrace the web standards of today with technologies that work across modern browsers without additional build processes or tooling.
• Reusable Components: Like frameworks such as React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte, web components allow for the creation of reusable custom elements in plain HTML.
• Cross-Framework Utility: Web components can be used alongside your favorite framework or library, enhancing and extending their capabilities.

Course Highlights:

• Custom Elements: Learn to create your own custom HTML elements that encapsulate functionality in a way that's standardized across the web.
• Shadow DOM: Understand how to use Shadow DOM to style and isolate your component's styling and markup from the rest of your application, leading to more organized and maintainable code.
• HTML Templates: Discover the power of HTML Templates for efficient rendering of your custom elements, enabling performance optimizations in your web applications.

What You Will Learn:

• Building Custom Elements: From scratch to extension of built-in elements, you'll learn best practices and common patterns for creating reusable components.
• Efficient Rendering with Templates: Practice using templates to improve the performance and maintainability of your web applications.
• Composing with Shadow DOM: Gain hands-on experience in composing custom elements with external markup, and learn how to style them effectively.
• Handling Events in Shadow DOM: Understand the intricacies of event handling within a Shadow DOM environment, including common issues and robust solutions.
