"The Complete Idiot's
Guide to Creating a Web Page" by Paul McFedries Isbn 0-02-864316-x
Course Description:
We will learn the
basics of creating a web page with HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). Although software is available that makes web
pages, it is important to understand the fundamental programming language
(HTML) that is used on the internet.
This is an introduction to a simple programming language used for web
page development for Internet and intranet. Lessons include text manipulation,
graphics, hyper-text links, lists, and tables. Prerequisite: CS 110G or consent
of instructor.

Words of Wisdom:
When you take a course about computers, you get out of it what you put into it. Computers are constantly changing and you must be constantly learning to keep on the cutting edge. A class in computers will help you get started, but it is up to you to go that extra mile to become an expert. Working with computers is like learning a musical instrument. You don’t become a good musician without practice. It is the same with computers. If you don’t practice and develop your skills on your own, then you’ll never be a true techie. No computer class can teach you everything you need to know on a topic. Computer courses are a jumping off point to a journey, not a destination.
