Course Description:

'' Most business-people recognise the commercial importance of the Internet, but few realize how easy it is to learn the skills required to produce a basic Web presence.

This practical workshop introduces the basic elements of the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and its XML-compatible variant, XHTML, i.e., the standards which determine the structure and use of web pages.

Unlike most web site design training courses, this one is not locked-in to any particular vendor’s web browser, web server, application server, or operating system.

Like all GBdirect website design training courses, it teaches best practice in vendor-neutral, standards-compliant, cross-platform, and completely transferable skills, i.e. you will get real XHTML training and not merely one company¡¯s take on it.

On completion of this course, students should be able to produce standards-compliant website design which works with any of the well-known packages in this field, e.g., Dreamweaver, MS FrontPage, GoLive, IIS, Apache, ColdFusion, WebSphere, Lotus Domino, Microsoft Windows, Unix, Linux, .Net, SunOne, etc.

Suitable for
The course is intended for communications, marketing and design professionals who need to develop high-quality World Wide Web pages without external help.
