HTML and Web Page Design

In this part, you will learn the basic concepts of Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML. You will examine HTML; write source code; place text on the page; format text; create headings and horizontal rule lines; display lists; color Web pages; use graphics; add hypertext links; and create graphic hyperlinks.

After reviewing the basics, move on to intermediate HTML skills. Learn to blend text and graphics; add transparent images and animated images; and use image maps. You will also create basic forms; add enhanced elements to forms; and add E-mail links. Finally, you'll create and format tables, and design and format frames.

FrontPage

Part I: You will learn basic web creation and management skills. You will get started with FrontPage, develop and design webs, create webs with FrontPage wizards, and customize webs. You will also work with images and tables; use advanced components; work with frames and To-Do lists; manage webs; and examine permissions and web publishing.

Part II: This Part expands your FrontPage skills: use tables, forms, and other advanced features to create sophisticated web sites; learn how to structure pages by using tables; create forms for user interaction; add multimedia components; and work with advanced features such as cascading style sheets. This course meets the Microsoft Proficiency Guidelines for Microsoft FrontPage at the Expert level.

Using Databases with Front Page

Students will actively build FrontPage webs that will access the databases.

Dreamweaver

During this course, you will learn how to create a Web site by importing and formatting text and images, adding links, creating tables, using frames, and uploading the site to a remote Web server.

Flash

• Navigate within the Flash environment to build your projects efficiently.
• Use Flash’s drawing tools to create simple and complex objects.
• Manipulate objects on the stage, including selecting,, moving,, copying, deleting,, and transforming them.
• Utilize object interaction on a single layer to combine and segment objects.
• Import artwork from other programs to use in a Flash project.
• Create and format text.
• Perform frame-by-frame and tweened animations.
• Publish your projects for use on the Web.

CSS - Cascading Style Sheets

Whether you use HTML, FrontPage, or XML, stylesheets make designing and managing your web site easier through managed fonts, formatting, and style. In this course, you'll learn: advantages and disadvantages of CSS; creating styles and rules; using class selectors, DIV and SPAN; styling text and font properties; colors and backgrounds; box (layout) properties; rules of cascading; positioning, and design & usage tips.

PhotoShop Intro, Tips & Tricks

In this introductory course, you will cover the following topics: Photoshop's environment; sizing images; selecting image areas; manipulating selections; image modes; selecting colors; painting in color; layers; adjusting images; and saving completed images.

PhotoShop for Web Production

Understanding the Tools, creating Layer and layer Styles, Creating web Templates using Abode and creating GIF, Publication. Exporting and saving different formats.

JavaScript

This course serves as an introduction to JavaScript, a high-level computer language that allows you to add local scripting to a web page. JavaScript is the scripting language natively supported by both Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers and originally developed from Java by Sun Microsystems. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: understand what JavaScript is, what it can do, and how it works.

VBScripting

In this part the student will be taught about the server side scripting.

MS Access / MS SQL SERVER

• Creating Databases/SQL Queries in MS Access and SQL Server.
• Adding, Removing and Updating records in the database.

ASP - Active Server Pages

Students will learn the benefits of using ASP technology to create dynamic, data-driven Web sites. The course introduces the ASP Object Model, several built-in ASP Components, Scripting Objects, and the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) Model.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Describe what ASP is, what platforms and applications support it, and the role of scripting languages, objects, and components in ASP programming.
• Use Server-side Includes to improve Web programming efficiency through modularization.
• Describe the role of the ASP Response object and use its Write, Redirect, and output control properties and methods.
• Describe the role of the ASP Request object and use its Form, QueryString, and ServerVariables collections to obtain user-supplied information and environment details.
• Determine the value of cookies in maintaining user state and use the Cookie collections of the Request and Response objects.
• Describe what ASP components are and use the Server object to instantiate ASP components.
• Use the Ad Rotator, Browser Capabilities, and Content Linking components.
• Describe the difference between ASP applications and sessions and use the Global.asa file to launch application and session events.
• Describe what Scripting Objects are and use the Dictionary, FileSystemObject, and TextStream objects to further enable your ASP Web sites.
• Describe the relationship between ASP and ADO and create a database connection from a Web site.
• Use the Recordset object to display database records, create on-the-fly combo boxes and option groups, and filter records based on user input.
• Add, update, and delete records in a database using both ADO and SQL query methods.
• Use stored procedures and parameter queries to improve database access on the Web.
