About the Course:

Course Description

This course is a 14-week, two hour per week, introduction to web design. Students will learn the basics of website design, building, and deployment through hands-on discussions, labs, and projects. The course focuses mainly on HTML and CSS, although students will interact with JavaScript, MySQL and PHP frameworks throughout the semester as well. Coding and design will be done with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and Adobe Photoshop CS4.

By the end of this course, students will have the knowledge required to build compact, compatible, dynamic, and interactive websites that meet established web standards. Students will also feel comfortable deploying their websites on remote servers via FTP.

Work Load

This course is demanding in terms of time and material. With that said, the course and its staff are dedicated to making sure students feel comfortable with the material and finish the course with the tools needed to build professional websites.

Prerequisites / Software Requirements

There are no prerequisites for this course. Any programming or previous web experience will be helpful but is not required. However, this course will be taught assuming students are comfortable interacting with existing websites via a modern browser.

There are no software requirements for students who wish to use lab computers and are willing to use substitute software. Unfortunately the lab computers do not have Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 or Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed; therefore students who wish to use this suite will need to obtain the software on their own. We apologize for the inconvenience, but the cost of the software is prohibitively expensive for us to provide for the class. The lab computers do have comparable text-editor and FTP client software installed, which we will do our best to accommodate. The lab is reserved for the DeCal from TBA, where TBA is optional lab time for students to work on decal related material.
