Course Overview
A course for students who wish to incorporate the advanced features of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) when designing Web pages. Students will analyze HTML editors and create Web pages that use frames, forms, FormMail.cgi, cascading style sheets, and server side includes. Their pages will be viewed in various Web browsers and operating systems.

This course is designed for the Web development student who wants to create more sophisticated pages for the World Wide Web. You will 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.

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 you to 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 that 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!
