Introduction to Web Authoring Tools

<html> </confusion>

This class about Hyper-Text Markup Language
will end confusion about html.

 

Have you browsed the web and want to design your own web pages? This class will help you master skills and cultivate professional standards in web design so that your pages can reach a wide audience, regardless of what browser or operating system your audience uses.

Hyper-Text Mark-Up Language (html) is the basic language of web authors, the simple fiber spinning the web. In this class students will read about and discuss: the history of html as a universal tool that makes the web possible, the necessity to maintain universally recognized standards, and resources for web design. Above all, students will learn html and practice using html to write web pages. The class will include brief introductions to advanced elements that can be included in web pages (graphics, cgi-scripts, java script, multimedia), although the focus will be on html and basic web authoring tools.

Students will participate in on-line discussions and get help through a ListServ and Ohlone's online chat room, submit weekly assignments demonstrating mastery of html, and produce a personal web project using html. The links near the top of the page take you to each week's class and requirements, and connect you to the Instructor, the ListServ and Chat Room.
