HTML/XHTML Introduction

This class is a must for anyone who will be building web pages. Although there are many graphical applications that can be used to build web pages, anyone who is serious about building high-quality web sites will need a strong understanding of HTML. All web pages are built using HTML. Students will create web pages by hand by typing HTML code to add structure and formatting to the web pages. Students will add graphics, formatting using Cascading Style Sheets, and interactivity using JavaScript. HTML is being upgraded to XHTML, so students will be learning the next generation of web design. No software is needed.

You have probably viewed hundreds or thousands of web pages in your life, but have you ever given any thought to how the web page arrives at your browser after you type an address or click a link? Have you viewed the code that makes up a web page? In order to have a better understanding of some of the tools we will be working with in this course, you will need an understanding of how a web page arrives at a browser once it is requested. We will also look at the history of HTML, how it came into being and what its future looks like. You will also learn the basics of creating a web page using XHTML.
