Web Site Coding Class
Of course, all the LVS classes are fun-filled and jam-packed with information you can’t live without BUT none of them offers the opportunity to learn the basics of web site coding like Build Your Web Site I.
What’s that you say? You already know all about creating web pages? Then it is entirely possible my class isn’t for you. But before you make up your mind on that issue, why not take a page from any of your sites and run it through the W3C validation services, the Link Checker service and the Web Optimization site; if it reports back from those locations as being a great web page, kudos to you and please enjoy one of the many other courses LVS offers. If, on the other hand, it doesn’t… Oh, wait, you say you don’t know what those services are? Oh, dear! Would you like to learn? For fear of repeating myself, here’s that link again: Build Your Web Site I.
How about those of you who don’t know what X/HTML and CSS even means? You are the people for whom this course was specifically developed. You don’t NEED to know specifics. I’ve designed the Level I course in such a way that it introduces basic coding concepts by discussion and example. Each lesson builds on the previous one so what you learn in Lesson 1 will be used consistently throughout the rest of the lessons, as well as in all the Build Series classes, thus affording you the opportunity to become comfortable with the coding experience, by virtue of repetition, as you learn new material.
Is It Technical?
There are technical terms involved, certainly. Everything new to one’s learning experience involves its own terminology – it’s how we’re able to communicate with each other. Having said that, the material is presented in an easy to read, casual manner. A former student commented she was afraid the lessons would be like having to “read some geek manual”. Instead, she went on to say, they were more along the lines of a friend talking to her. That’s what I was going for!
Over the past several years of teaching at LVS, I’ve had a number of students proclaim they were nervous, doubtful, and even intimidated by the prospect of learning web site coding. Yet, they signed up for Build Your Website – Intro course. Congratulations to them and to their ultimate accomplishments because those folks have web sites today.
Still Not Sure?
I encourage you to browse through what former students have said about the Build Your Website I course.
So whether you are a true novice or you have worked with web sites in the past, this course offers something for everyone.
With that said, I’ll ’see’ you in the halls!
