Pam Bedient’s Build Your Website 1

I have copied below the LVS description of this course and added my comments.

"If you are ready to build your own web site, then come join us for this beginners course as we put together the exciting puzzle of (X)HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). I’m beginning to see the puzzle’s shape!

These lessons are aimed not only at absolute beginners, but also to those with very little prior web page coding experience. The Build Your Web Site series of courses is for anyone who wants to learn to write standards-compliant [my emphasis], valid XHTML from the bottom up.

This 6 week beginners course will start off with the basic foundation of (X)HTML. You will learn to handwrite code and use online validators to find coding errors, learn how to correct those errors, use CSS to format text and add color, work with backgrounds, create links, and add images to your web page. The instructor did a great job!

Additional subject matter includes how to correctly develop, and use, a simple table, CSS classes, some special coding, and lots of other assorted goodies. Although not specifically pointed out in each instance, the coding taught in this class complies with Accessibility standards [this is important to me].

Don't be intimidated if all this sounds too "high-tech" or complicated; it's not. The lessons, authored by the course instructor, lead you through a step-by-step process until, before you know it, you're at Week 6 and have a fully functional web site! A lot of infomation taught in a easy to understand way!

I’m looking forward to Build Your Website 2.
