What to expect:  This is a course in the development of web pages and web sites.  For the first 5 weeks, you will develop web pages using HTML, notepad, and an Internet  browser only.   Using these tools, you will develop web pages that use tables, frames, and control input using forms.  I believe in hands-on learning.  Expect to be tested over the material by being able to demonstrate that you can perform the task at hand.  For the remaining 5 weeks we will turn our attention to HTML editors such as Microsoft FrontPage and others.  Using Microsoft FrontPage you will create web sites without writing HTML code.  Expect a project due to the instructor every chapter.
