Prerequisites
None
Requirements
Students must have webspace where they can post their assignments. You need to avoid webspaces that support banner ads or popup adds as this adds code to your pages. If you do not have webspace, try your ISP first as many provide a small amount of space with your monthly fee. If yours does not, there are a number of free services that are available on the net. A good place to look for free webspace is FreeWebSpace.net at http://www.freewebspace.net/ or the Free Site at http://www.thefreesite.com

Testimonials:
'I learned a lot in the six weeks of class. Both Frani and Quail were great instructors and encouraged you to figure things out on your own but were available for help if you needed it. The book was easy to read and understand and I will continue to read it and use it as a reference. This was my first on-line class and was a very positive experience.' -- Tammy Kief

'A perfect course. Frani and Quail gave very quick, thorough and encouraging feedback to all the assignments. A great course for building a solid foundation in using HTML 4 and for giving me real confidence in using HTML.' -- Kate Jones
