What you will learn
The aim of this course is to get you started
designing web pages. It is assumed that you
have little or no experience of the subject. During
our time together, you'll learn some new concepts
and ideas, most of which will not be difficult.
After all, there are billions of pages on the
internet, designed by the whole spectrum of
humanity: children, adults, pensioners, people
from all walks of life have sites out there. And if
they can do it, so can you. In fact, follow the
lessons carefully and you WILL do it. Before long,
you'll have your own pages designed and ready
to be uploaded, there for all the world to see.
The technologies you will learn are HTML, HTML5,
and Cascading Style Sheets. (HTML5 is the
newest version of the of the language.)
At the heart of every web page is something
called HTML. You will learn what this is, and how
to code it. You will also learn the newest version
of HTML, which is called HTML5. Both versions
are included in this course. As well as HTML, you
will learn about Cascading Style Sheets, and will
be able to improve the look of your web pages by
adding CSS to enhance them.
At the end of most chapters in this book you will
see a summary table of what you have learnt. The
summary tables are also included in a separate
document, called quick_reference.pdf. This is one
of the files that come with this book. All the files
you should have are detailed below.
What you need to do the course
The only thing you really need to do the course is
a simple text editor. We explain all about this in
the first chapter, Anatomy of a Web Page, in the
section Software for Writing Web Pages. But the
operating system you have is not important. So
you can do this course on a PC or an Apple Mac.
Web Design Course Files
There are a number of files that you will need in
order to complete certain sections. Whenever you
need a file for a section of your course, it will be
explained in the relevant section. The download
location is here, under the heading Web Design -
New Course (you don't need the downloads for
the old course.):
