XHTML 101 - Free HTML Course

I was on a forum which was talking about free training and I saw this one. HTML is one of the things which I could do with improving because I always forget what goes and usually end up copying a previous piece of HTML. I know I could just learn it myself but I am a bit lazy and only use HTML sporadically.

Although maybe I might bite the bullet and perhaps doing a course, even though I would still be doing the work mainly at home would be a good way of motivating myself. Don't get me wrong I do understand HTML and can whiz up a page it's just it usually takes me a bit of time to remember how it works and where the variables go etc.

I think I might use this link as a new years resolution - must learn HTML better.

Plus I thought I would post this link for people who aren't so hot on their HTML and would like a free course to help brush up on their skills. It does say you get a certificate!!!

This are the basic things the course cover

  • the differences between XHTML and HTML
  • basic XHTML
  • text manipulation
  • lists
  • images
  • linking
  • tables
  • frames
  • and even an overview of forms
A bit of self publicity on a different topic. I have just started a funny blog and need submission and readers for it, so check it out Amusing IT Stories it's a mixture of true stories, satirical news, web links etc etc, don't listen to me waffle just take a look.

  • And what's next? I bet that the next one will a CSS course.

    I've just finished CSS: The Missing Manual, a very good book. I had some experience in CSS before but it's very little and I was always use HTML to format and make layout for web pages. But after reading this book, I will never use HTML to format and do layout anymore. CSS can make it simpler and better way.

  • really, I find that comment very interesting.

    CSS is a bit of a dark art for me. I assume it's a bit of dark art for the occaisonal HTML programmer/dabbler.

    You comments have certainly got my interest and I think I should get off my lazy arse and take a look at CSS and maybe a look at the book you have recommended.

    thanks for the comment
