Challenge Overview

Project Overview
Welcome to "EMC - Skills Refinement Portal UI Prototype Challenge". The goal of this challenge is to create a responsive HTML5 Prototype application based on provided storyboards and clickable wireframes for Skills Refinement Portal. The prototype must follow our standards and our guidelines. Please see more details below.

As part of this challenge you will need to document all HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript code. We need clear explanation of the code to help us figure out all the HTML5/CSS3/JS code functions and make it easier for future developers and the client to understand what you have built.

NOTE: This application is using Bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com/) for the responsive framework.

Tips for Success: Asking questions early and getting Copilot or PM's feedback is very important for the success of this challenge.
