HTML Introduction

Overview:

Whether you use a high-end authoring application like Dreamweaver, or, in the most

economical fashion, you write your own code out in a text file, knowing your way around

HTML comes in handy. Aspect Training's HTML Introduction course will teach you what

you need to know quickly.

This course covers the latest specifications of HTML 4 set by the World Wide Web

Consortium, from the most basic tags that place text, images and links on the page to

more complex ones that set up tables, frames or forms.

As with all Aspect Training courses, this course features clear and concise instructions

side-by-side with hands on exercises that show both the source code and the resulting

effect on the Web page.
