I am very excited to be teaching this course and am delighted to have so many hard working and enthusiastic students. I have been using Cascading Style sheets to display content for many years, but have just recently used this code to do all my layout. That is really where the power of CSS shines.

Students who took CS 50.11A/B in Spring of 2006 or later, have had 4 weeks of CSS and understand how to create columns of text or images and arrange those columns without tables or spacer gifs.

Students who enrolled in HTML before Spring 2006 will be amazed how simple our HTML pages have become and how diverse the layout of those pages can be. Say goodbye to nested tables, slicing images and creating "pictures" of text so the words could be tightly tracked or have negative leading. CSS has arrived, so now all these effects be dealt with in a straight forward manner by using CSS code.

For students who have recently completed the CS 50.11A/B course, every chapter has some advanced "gems" we weren't able to cover in the HTML classes, and as the class progresses we will get to advanced layouts and drop down menus. Feel free to read ahead, if you just can't wait.

Best Wishes
