<HTML> is the language of the World Wide Web, a very simple
yet often intimidating system of tags that enables text, graphics,
sound, and video to be viewed on billions of Web pages. Learn HTML
basics with an experienced professional through our distance learning
course.
Thanks to today's HTML editors, (programs such as Dreamweaver and GoLive) entire sites can be designed without "hand-coding"
in HTML. Applications to help users find the right HTML codes have
become more user friendly, but for any Web designer, a baseline
knowledge of HTML is critical. You've got to know how HTML (Hyper
Text Mark Up Language) works — and how to fix things when
it doesn't.
In this practical 3-lesson course, you'll cover everything from
basic tags and tables to using templates and troubleshooting.
Who'd have thought learning html codes could be this much fun? |

Outline: |
| |
| LESSON 1 The
ABCs of HTML Lesson One begins with an HTML overview: explaining
how HTML evolved, how much you need to know, and what tools you
need to use. You'll learn how to construct a basic HTML page, and
explore the ins and outs of formatting, Web colors, images, and
links -- all the essential elements of a Web page. You'll learn
how to create files and folders using the correct directory structure,
and view source code to learn from the inspiration of others. In
the exercise, you'll create an online menu for a restaurant. |
| |
| LESSON 2 Tools for Tables
HTML tables are used everywhere on the Web as a layout and content
organization tool. Lesson Two gives you tools for tables: you'll
learn how to construct them, format them, place elements in them,
and fix 'em when they break. You'll discover how to add sophistication
to your tables by modifying their properties: adding background
colors and images, and using colspan and rowspan tags. In the exercise,
you'll explore a common application for tables by building an e-commerce
product page from scratch. |
| |
| LESSON 3 Putting It All
Together Lesson Three gives you a taste of some of the
challenges of a professional HTML assignment. You'll look at the
dynamic templates often used to contstruct e-commerce sites. You'll
get an introduction to how HTML interacts with other coding languages
such as ASP and ColdFusion. You'll discover how the "front
end" of a form is created, learning how to create common form
elements. The lesson wraps up with a guide to common HTML troubleshooting
issues. In your final project, you'll create a 4-page "prototype"
for an ecommerce site. |
