Introduction to HTML Designed for the student with little to no working knowledge of creating HTML files by hand. If you're looking to learn HTML from scratch or move beyond using a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing tool, this is the class for you. Students will be introduced to the structure of HTML documents, good markup techniques, and the concept of validation. Students will be required to use a plain text editor to write HTML and use an FTP program to upload the pages to the Internet. Functional topics will include text formatting, using lists, tables, and a brief foray into CSS.
Outline
Week 1:Basics of FTP and the document HEAD
Week 2: Basics of Inline and Block-level tags
Week 3: Links and Images
Week 4: Tables and Search Engines
Week 5: Forms and validation
Week 6: Lists and Character Entities
Week 7: Basics of CSS
Week 8: Final Project
Prerequisites
None
Requirements
Students must have webspace where they can post their assignments. You need to avoid webspaces that support banner ads or popup adds as this adds code to your pages. If you do not have webspace, try your ISP first as many provide a small amount of space with your monthly fee. If yours does not, there are a number of free services that are available on the net. A good place to look for free webspace is FreeWebSpace.net at http://www.freewebspace.net/ or the Free Site at http://www.thefreesite.com

"I had thought that this course would be very easy, but it wasn't. I appreciate the good quality of this course very much.
It gave me a lot of information that I would not be able to obtain otherwise. The instructor (Frani) was very good, but also very friendly and patient.
Thanks a lot.

"Frani was very helpful. Assignments which followed the book more closely (or a book that follow the assigments more closely) might have helped reinforce the learning process and provided a more solid theoretical foundation. All in all, more than worth the investment of time and money." - Jeff Archie
"I have discussed the classes that I have taken through eClasses with a manager at work. He recently offered me a promotion into Development." - Nichole Browning
"The instructor was very helpful and her lectures were very appropriate with lots of tips and extras. " - Mitchell Hertzler
"The class was very good, the book very helpful and both instructors -- Frani and Quail -- were great teachers who were very clear in articulating their instructions and what was expected of us in this class. Both were also very patient, understanding and reasonable. The only suggestion I would make to improve the course would be to ease up a bit on the assignment load during the week of a holiday, such as Thanksgiving, and maybe made the assignment more difficult during another week to make up for it. Thank you." - joseph young

"I learned a lot! This is the first course I've taken online and the first course I've taken since grad school 10 years ago. I didn't know what to expect. The assignments were challenging and well thought out and force one to do the reading assignments.

It has already allowed me to do my job better!" - Lee Takebayashi
