The Web is clearly one of the most significant technological advances of the last 20 years, and you’re invited to learn more about it. Students who enroll in Web Development courses may train for a full- or part-time career, update skills for their current job, work to start their own Web-based business, or use their skills for personal enrichment. Whatever your educational goals, SRJC has courses that will meet your needs.
The Web Development courses have been grouped into three broad categories: Production, Design, and Programming.
E-mail the course coordinator for further information.
Web Production Courses
Most students begin with the production area where they learn HTML - the "lingua franca" of the Web - and then move on to a WYSIWYG Editor, such as Dreamweaver. Students can also expand their HTML skills by delving into XML and CSS. As a capstone to the production courses, CS 50.31 (Web Content Development) is offered which allows students to work on a team as a Content Developer or Project Manager to develop a Web site for a local nonprofit organization.
