course description
This two-day course will provide you with all the elements and concepts required to create the skills that will enable you to use HTML effectively. In this course you will learn the language of the web. We will cover everything you need to know from the basics through advanced techniques.
We will teach you basic coding for web pages, using a simple text editor, as well as more complex HTML. Learn how to create links, lists and forms. Use cascading style sheets to format your pages.
