Course Description

Learn to build and style your very own website!

This course introduces students to the concepts and skills necessary to design their own websites! Students will learn how to write code in HTML, a tag-based markup language used to build the structure of a webpage, and CSS, a style sheet language used for describing the visual presentation of webpage elements. The first week, students will learn how to create and configure HTML elements like images, tables, and forms. They will also learn the basics of the web, as well as how to format and organize parts of a webpage. 

The second half of the course, students will explore CSS essentials like selectors, numerical representations of color, and the “box model” of layout. They will learn how to style each of the HTML elements they’ve added to their webpages, as well as how to use HTML and CSS together to create advanced features like dropdown menus.

The first class session will cover software installation, configuration, and introductions.
