While using the Internet, you have probably encountered various attractive and useful websites, and you may have formed your own opinions of their capabilities and limitations. However, merely using the Internet will not give you an understanding of how these sites are created. In this course, you will examine the basics of foundational web technology and create your own functional web pages using markup languages such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• create a basic web page.
• structure the content on your web page.
• apply styles to the page elements.
• create, modify, and format a table.
• link web pages.
