HTML Authoring for the Web

Accelerated Technical Training

Overview

In this course, you learn by doing. In a series of hands-on exercises, you acquire the basics of Web page authoring.

In the first exercise, you build a simple Web page. As the course progresses, you apply more techniques and the simple page grows. You add paragraphs, lists, horizontal rules, font changes, hyperlinks, images, and special characters. Techniques for adapting existing ("legacy") documents are practiced. You also learn to leverage from the source code of documents already on the Web.

In addition to the practical skills listed above, you learn the underlying concepts of the Web: the role of the author and of the Webmaster, strategies for authoring (using specialized HTML tools, converting from native word processor formats, writing raw HTML), and new paradigms for non-linear media.
