INTRODUCTION: This course is an introduction to webpage development techniques. Topics in this course include techniques and strategies for creating good websites. Upon completion, you will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the topics through webpage development projects and appropriate tests.

Course Description:

This course focuses on planning, designing, developing, managing, and evaluating web resources. Issues such as web accessibility, website management, and copyright will also be discussed.  This course covers website development using the two of three methods that have been used since web design first began: hand-coding HTML using a text editor and building Web pages using a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver. We will cover design principles, Cascading Style Sheets, server-side vs. client-side technologies, web browsers, and web servers. We will conclude the course with a brief overview of the future of Web development: XHTML.
