This course is designed to provide an overview of common internet tools and their effect on modern business and culture. We will learn how to develop, build, and maintain a website. The course discusses internet history, physical structure, and communication protocols. We will also learn about internet security and ettiquette. We discuss tools such as email, discussion boards, and search engines.
Initially, the course focuses on the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and provides a series of lectures and hands-on labs focusing on clear web site design while mastering advanced HTML features, such as forms, the Common Gateway Interface, floating elements and image maps. JavaScript and Java applets will be introduced also.

| January 8, 2007 | Textbooks: The textbook for this course is Wendy Lehnert's
"Web 101 Making the 'Net Work for You, Second Edition." You may also want to
buy a second book for your HTML work. I suggest either HTML, by the O'Reilly
Group or Ragged on HTML,by Ragged. Now, since this is an internet
applications course you could get away with using internet resources
for your HTML reference material - but there's nothing like a good dog-eared
book by your side while your writing code.
