These HTML assignments were done from Patrick Carey's "Creating Web Pages with HTML". This was our first required course in the ROP Web Design curriculum. The entire course took approximately 300 hours or 4 months of actual classroom hours. To establish a solid foundation of HTML, all these assignments were hand-coded using Textpad.

Not only was the objective hand-coding but by going thru the entire course, one was able to learn the basic fundamentals and practice the principles of file management, developing webpage from start to finish, uploading the numerous files that resulted from this course, and troubleshooting/maintaining the site.

A "completely hand-coded" final project was the "icing on the cake" for this course. After taking the subsequent courses of DreamWeaver, FireWorks, Flash, Paintshop Pro and others, I had the opportunity to rework the final project by further enhancing it with these fine tools.

Upon completion of this program, you come away with great confidence in Web Page Design.
