Course Overview
A course for students who wish to incorporate the advanced features of
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) when designing Web pages. Students will
incorporate client side image maps, frames, forms, formmail.cgi, cascading
style sheets, and analyze HTML Editors. Web browsers will be compared.
This course is designed for the web development student who wants to create more sophisticated Web pages for the World Wide Web. You need to be familiar with the basics of computer usage and feel comfortable using the Internet. If you do not have these skills I recommend you enroll in an Introduction to the PC (or Mac) class, and the Introduction to Internet course.
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the basis of all the lessons in the course. For students who are considering a career in Web design, it is essential that you master HTML. If you want to create a home page for yourself or others as a hobby, you may want to consider a course in PageMill, or FrontPage. These software packages create Web pages without requiring that you learn HTML.
In addition to memorizing HTML codes, you will be asked to develop skills in organizing information; writing clearly and concisely; using colors and graphics which are effective and pleasing to the eye; and presenting your finished Web project to an audience. In short, there is more to Web design than knowing HTML.
This eight-week course will not provide you with all you need to know to become a "Webmaster;" however, it will help you get started!
