Web Development & Design Foundations with HTML 5, 6th Ed ,
by Terry Felke-Morris,
Addison-Wesley Publisher.
This textbook is available in the college bookstore.
The correct ISBN is ISBN: 978-0-13-278339-2.
This is a required textbook for the class and we will use it each
week for our assignments. I have
placed a few copies of it in the B151 lab that you may check out and use
while you are in the lab.
You must attend the first class meeting! I will tell about the course; give you your own personal account on our server; and you will make your first two Web pages and upload them to that account. This orientation takes all 2 hours, so plan to stay for the entire orientation on the first night.
Our computer Lab is open in room B151 on the first floor of the business building from
Monday through Thursday 8 am until 8:15 pm and on Friday from 8am until 4:15pm.
If your computer dies, use one of ours!

In addition to the Desire 2 Learn (D2L) work, students will need to spend time on a computer connected to the Internet to complete the homework assignments. Students should allow 3 or more hours of computer lab time for every one hour spent in the classroom or in Desire 2 Learn. This class will take from 3 to 12 hours a week to complete.
Course Description: This course is an introduction to the technical aspects of Web site development for students and Web professionals. Topics include creating Web pages with markup languages, including XHTML, cascading style sheets, an introduction to scripting, the use of images and other media on the Web, interactive tools like forms and image maps, file management for the Web, and uploading files via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to a Web server. Emphasis will be on the study and implementation of current World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards and a structured approach to Web site development in which students will identify the information dissemination needs of a client, and then develop and implement an appropriate Web solution. Students who have completed CISW 300 after Fall 2003 may not receive credit for this course.

Because this class is delivered online, you MUST have access to a computer with an Internet connection where you can work 3 to 4 times a week to complete assignments and take quizzes. If you plan to work in the B151 lab, you must have free time when that lab is available. I will be giving you a copy of Note Tab Light free version, ConText, or Arachnophilia free version and WS-FTP student version to use for your programming assignments. You must either install these on the computer you plan to use or have other pure text-editing software that does not make any modifications to your web pages and software to FTP your new pages up to the web. Mac users can use textwrangler (or other text editing software) and you have FTP built in to your Mac.
General Aims: To give a basic background in effective use of XHTML to create pages for the World Wide Web.
Specific Objectives: As a result of successful completion of this course the student should be able to:
- Use XHTML to create a basic Web page
- Design a Web page using standard, widely used XHTML tags.
- Modify an existing Web Page to give it new functionality.
- Create an extensive ( 16-24 page) web site.
- Have fun making your own web pages!
