This is an
introductory course for IT Professionals (developers, analysts
or managers) either working in, or exposed to, the browser
development environment. Presented as a mix of lectures and
practical work, the course is relevant to client or server-side
developers who need to display information dynamically in the
browser. The course focuses on the use of HTML/XHTML as the
underlying foundation upon which all other technologies sit and
shows how to successfully integrate these technologies into the
web page (internet or intranet). The focus is therefore on the
structure of the page, rather than its aesthetic presentation.
Emphasis is placed on:
 |
The use of forms
for sending data to the server
|
|
The use of
tables for receiving data from the server
|
|
How to include
scripts (both client and server) in HTML/XHTML pages
|
|
The role of
Cascading Style Sheets
|
|
The importance
of <div> and <span> elements in the dynamic setting
|
|
The relationship
of HTML/XHTML to the Document Object Model
|
|
The relationship
of HTML and XHTML to each other and to XML
|
While considerable
attention is given to the use of JavaScript (JScript), VBScript,
Cascading Style Sheets and the Document Object Model, this
course is not intended as a comprehensive introduction to these
topics. It is intended to demonstrate how they integrate with
HTML/XHTML.
Prerequisites: There are no formal prerequisites for
participation in the course. However it is aimed at IT
professionals who need to dynamically present data from an
environment with which
they are familiar.
