An introduction to HTMLAn introduction to HTML
"HTML, short for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for the
creation of web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a
document — by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to
supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML is written
in the form of tags, created by "angle brackets" ( < and > ). HTML can also describe, to some
degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can include embedded
scripting language code which can affect the behavior of web browsers and other HTML
processors."
Do you need to know it? Why learn it? (page vii)
The more you understand the limits of HTML, the more it will help you.
A markup language, not a programming language
Virtually all of HTML is in the structure of nested tags:
content goes here
Always remember the importance of syntax!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html
http://www.w3schools.com

An introduction to (X)HTMLAn introduction to (X)HTML
"Early versions of HTML were defined with loose syntactic rules, which helped
its adoption by those unfamiliar with web publishing. Web browsers commonly
made assumptions about intent and proceeded with rendering of the page. Over
time, as the use of authoring tools increased, the trend in the official standards
has been to create an increasingly strict language syntax. However, browsers
still continue to render pages that are far from valid HTML."
Understanding the different "flavors." eg: (X)HTML
–Who comes up with the HTML standards? W3C.org
–HTML vs. XHTML vs. XML ("strict," "transitional," etc.)
–What are "deprecated" tags?
–Doctype declarations (DTD)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web_Consortium
If you want to know more about "doctype switching"
HTML or XHTML - does it really matter?
XHMTL Syntax

What software do you needWhat software do you need
to code and create HTML pages manually?to code and create HTML pages manually?
(pages xiv-xv)
A simple text editor
– Notepad, WordPad, or TextEdit
– Save your pages as .htm not as .txt .rtf etc.
– Is there a difference between .htm and .html?
Web browsers for testing
– Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc.
– Drag and drop your .htm files onto the browser's icon.
– Use the keyboard shortcut F5 to refresh your pages.
Image editing software
– Adobe Photoshop, Fireworks, The Gimp, etc.
– Save images as .jpg or .gif
File management applications
– Windows explorer or Macintosh Finder to manipulate local files
– FTP (or equivalent) to upload web files to remote server

Creating new pages/folders in your webCreating new pages/folders in your web
Creating new web structures is easy.
File and folder naming conventions:
– Is there a difference between .htm and .html?
– Lowercase, no spaces, no special characters
– Remember: file names = web page addresses
– Search engines use key words in file names to help rank your
pages' importance
Be consistent in your file-naming scheme.
– When coding pages manually in HTML, renaming
a single file in your site can have catastrophic effects.
– The importance of managing files from within
a site management application

What exactly is a "web browser"?What exactly is a "web browser"?
"A web browser is a software application that enables a user to display and interact with text,
images, and other information typically located on a web page at a website on the World Wide Web
or a local area network. Web browsers allow a user to quickly and easily access information
provided on many web pages at many websites by traversing these links. Web browsers convert
HTML coding for display, so the appearance of a web page may differ between browsers. Web
browsers available for personal computers include Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari,
Netscape, and Opera in order of descending popularity (as of August 2006)."
• More than 10 years ago, Netscape Navigator was the widest used
graphical-based client and server program for the Internet with 71% market share.
• As a web designer, you must give a lot of thought to the browsers people are using
and test your pages accordingly.
"2005: Market share for the open-source Mozilla Firefox
climbed above 6%, while Microsoft's Internet Explorer share d

Today the two most popular browsers
for the WWW are:
MS Internet Explorer (60%) Mozilla Firefox (32%)
Current and updated browser statistics
Which browsers should you test your pages in?Which browsers should you test your pages in?

Page titles are different than file namesPage titles are different than file names
(page 9)
Page titles are used to identify your pages in …
– The web page's title bar
– Browser histories and bookmarks/favorites
– Search engine results lists
Search engines also use page titles to rank your pages
Therefore, page titles should be be descriptive and use key words.
It is also important to include:
Description & key words "meta tags"

Intro to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)Intro to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
(pages 11-12)
The nature of style sheets
Although you may think of "cascading" as the way in which your styles flow from
one document to another across your site, the term technically refers to the way
in which styles can build on each other and take precedence over one another.
Why use them?
– Easy application of formatting across pages of an entire site
– More control over a many different page elements
– You can even redefine the properties of common HTML tags
Inline vs. internal vs. external style sheets
Multiple style sheets can be used to combine styles, however for
simplicity sake, that practice should be avoided. (59-60)
Is CSS widely supported?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets
http://www.dustindiaz.com/css-shorthand/
http://www.design215.com/toolbox/css_guide.php

XHTML has stricter rules thanXHTML has stricter rules than
plain old traditional HTMLplain old traditional HTML
Always use lowercase tags – no capital letters whatsoever.
Attributes are always contained within quotation marks.
Tags always close, even "empty" tags.

Essential formatting:Essential formatting: character-level (words)character-level (words)
Basic character-level formatting
– Heading (format) tags do more than effect size, but also designate
the *importance* of the content. (page 14)
– "Font combination groups" for web design (pg. 15)
Changing the entire page vs. altering individual text selections
– Understanding the "web-safe" color palette's 216 colors and
their hexadecimal codes (pg. 16)
– Size: relative vs. absolute definitions (30, 80)
(Prefer pixels [px] as the measurement of choice for web dev.)
– Bold, italic, underline, etc. … (pg. 38)
Adding special characters, including non-breaking spaces (28, 79)
Using HTML Heading Tags

Inserting images and understanding graphicsInserting images and understanding graphics
Prefer to use "camera-ready" images.
How images are saved into your web
– A web page is simple text, typed as code.
– Multimedia content is NOT embedded into the page.
– It is simply addressed or linked to.
Using HTML code to resize images (page 25)
"Alt text" and "accessibility" (26, 68)
Understanding text wrap and alignment (31-32, 44)
Placeholders, borders, and image margins

Different image formats and their usesDifferent image formats and their uses
(pages 19-24)
JPG: good compression can lead to poor quality
GIF: transparencies and animation
PNG: smaller files, better quality, less support
Understanding resolution and "resampling."
The Rule: You can sample down, but not up.The Rule: You can sample down, but not up.
Using image "slices" for faster downloads
How big should a web page be?
– For all files loading on a single page:
Dial-up: 50k
Broadband: 100k
– The closer a page is to the top of your site, the faster it should be.

Essential formatting:Essential formatting: block-level (paragraphs)block-level (paragraphs)
(pages 34-35)
Two different kinds of line breaks (pg. 37)
– (vs.) or 
Paragraph or "block-level" formatting is different than
character-level formatting
– Block-level formatting always applies to entire blocks of text within 
Block-level formatting includes:
alignment, indents, bulleted & numbered lists
Don't forget about simple horizontal lines <hr> or <hr />

Site design vs. page designSite design vs. page design
Be thinking of both as you prepare and as you work.
– Remember, not all web pages are contained
within a web site.
"Information architecture" or …
Planning and designing your site
– Storyboarding page designs, and …
– Diagramming work flow
To safely work on a site, you should create
a local copy.

UnderstandingUnderstanding
the underlying structure of a websitethe underlying structure of a website
Addressing appears in the HTML code for:
Links, images, and any other embedded content.
How is site/page addressing affected by file and directory names?
Folders or "directories" and understanding root levels
Understanding index.htm as the "magical file name“
Absolute & relative paths
– Absolute paths:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/contents.html
– Document-relative paths: dreamweaver/contents.html
– Site-root relative paths: /support/dreamweaver/contents.html
The whole / and ../ thing
Path addressing is much easier to create and maintain in
an HTML editor.

Aspects of hyperlinksAspects of hyperlinks
(pages 71-72)
A hyperlink has two parts
– Its form: text or image
– Its coding: address & optional target
The wording of your links is important.
Hyperlink styles (pg. 72)
– Base, active, visited, hover, focus …
Creating image links with borders (75-77)
Targeting links for onsite and offsite links
"Jump" links, aka: "bookmark" or "anchor" links
Email links
Always test your links!

Understanding more about background imagesUnderstanding more about background images
(pages 61-64)
Why set a background color and a background image?
Images can be set as backgrounds of pages, frames,
tables, table cells, and divisions and/or layers.
Background images automatically tile when they are smaller
than the set area.
It is important to understand how monitor size and screen
resolution can affect your web designs.
Use background images appropriately.
– Page text and background color/image should contrast.
– Readability of online documents is key!
Free background images on the web

Working with divisions & layersWorking with divisions & layers
(pages 57, 84-85)
In XHTML the <div> tag replaces traditional table layouts.
Creating, naming, and modifying divisions/layers
Understanding what a layer is and does
Individual divisions/layers can be customized much in the
same way as table rows, columns, and cells:
– Background color, image, etc.
"Stacking order" through "z-index"
Some HTML editors can convert layers into tables.
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/csslayout.html

How monitor size & screen resolution affect web designHow monitor size & screen resolution affect web design
Understanding the situation – everybody's computer is different!
– Varying monitor sizes, resolutions, web browsers, and OSs make
controlling web page output impossible.
This issue affects:
Table layouts, divisions/layers, framesets, and background images.
Different methods of dealing with this phenomenon:
– Understanding "relative" vs. "absolute" size definitions
– Rigid designs vs. flexible designs (and combinations)
– Left-justified designs vs. centered designs
– Using images to prevent collapsing columns
Utilize different methods of web page resolution preview.
Test your pages everywhere you possibly can!

centered rigid columns with flexible "white space" side bars, optimized for
800x600 and 1024x768, but "fails gracefully" in 640x480.
There are varying design methods you can use to your advantage, but realize
that each may have its drawbacks also.
As a general rule, optimize your pages for 1024 x 768,
but they should also look good in 800 x 600 … and on larger displays.

Conclusions …Conclusions …
You cannot learn the violin in a day or two.
Web design is a skill – like any other – that requires
gradual & continual practice & improvement.
Approach everything on a need-to-know basis, and don't
worry about that which you do not yet understand.
Stay upbeat!
… but if you get frustrated, remember:
You can always turn off the machine and walk away. :)
Don't forget about your course materials.
Good luck. Best wishes.
