HTML Essential Training

Course Details

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the foundation of website and web application development. It allows you to ensure that your content is understood by both segments of your audience: the people who watch, read, or listen to your content, and the computers that display it. In HTML Essential Training, you’ll learn how to craft excellent HTML with the pieces that HTML itself has to offer. You’ll also learn all of the fundamental concepts you need to use HTML thoughtfully. The focus of this course is semantic markup: tagging content as what it is, and not just for formatting, convention, or convenience. This has far-reaching impact for those who consume the web differently; it ensures that when a screen reader or a system (like a search engine) consumes a page, it knows exactly what it contains and how to categorize that information.

Topics covered include the following:

  • Introduction
  • HTML
  • Formatting Text
  • Understanding the Power of HTML
  • Linking and Navigation
  • Images and Graphics
  • Media
  • More Ways to Identify Content
  • Putting It All Together
  • Forms and Interactive Elements
  • Structuring Tabular Data
  • Conclusion
