HTML & CSS Combo Essentials Introduction 2 Days - Glasgow

HTML Introduction 2 Days Overview

This 2-day Essentials course will cover everything you need to get started with producing HTML and styling your content with CSS. You will learn how web pages are structured under the hood and how you can put together your own files for the web. We will also show you how to use CSS to control every aspect of a site's visuals: its fonts, colours, leading, margins, and more.

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

• Understand the syntax and structure of HTML pages
• Insert tags, attributes, and values into a page
• Define titles, headings, and page regions
• Add links, alternate text content, and background images

• Write selectors to target only specific parts of a page
• Produce horizontal and vertical navigation bars
• Style hyperlinks
• Differentiate between external, embedded, and inline styles

Our goals are for you to understand how to create and adjust your own HTML documents, and for you to understand how to enhance the visual appearance of your web pages.
