COURSE OVERVIEW

While using the Internet, you have probably encountered various attractive and useful websites, and you may have formed your own opinions of their capabilities and limitations. However, merely using the Internet will not give you an understanding of how these sites are created. In this course, you will examine the basics of foundational web technology and create your own functional web pages using markup languages such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). You will also learn the skills that will be instrumental in advanced web pages as well as apply the best practices of web design and create a website that enhances the usability and interactivity of the web page/site.

*Course Cost does not include books. Please contact a VTEC Account Manager for details.
