Introduction to Web Development

CIS 221

Introduction to Web Scripting covers website development using the two technologies required in all webpages today: HTML (which provides structure) & CSS (which sets formatting & positioning). After a broad overview of HTML we'll learn the basics of CSS (an Advanced course in the Spring covers CSS in far more depth). We'll conclude with Responsive Web Design: a modern method for developing websites that provides optimal viewing experiences (in terms of reading, navigation, & layout) across a wide range of traditional & mobile devices. You will also be provided with daily exercise files to learn the concepts of HTML and CSS needed to build your site. Your instructor will demonstrate many of these concepts via recorded tutorial videos and code examples. And if you ever get stuck, there's a discussion board for anyone who needs help.
