HTML

This course introduces the elements of basic HTML webpage design with an emphasis on creating readable content for academic assignments. Students will learn how to use HTML tags for simple page layout, font control, links, lists, tables, basic forms to collect information, and how cascading style sheets can be used to change page appearance easily. We will also discuss site design and readability, and using internet resources to learn more.

Students will select a topic or theme for their website, create the basic page, and each week add new features to the site. Students will upload their scripts for hosting on the SO site for this course.

Prerequisite: No formal courses are required. Students should be comfortable with using a word editor like MS Notepad or Mac TextEdit to create ASCII text files. Since this is a course in fundamentals, no WYSIWYG website editors will be used to generate content.

None.
