WEB PAGE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

12 May 05

  In today's technical world, we take for granted the complex web page designs along with the 'cool' interactivity provided through the use of 'plug ins' , scripts, and java applications.  Web page software, like most modern day programs are the results of years of development and refinement.  Early web page creation had to be done exclusively through the writing of programming code (HTML: Hyper Text Markup Language) which was extremely cumbersome and often times difficult to master. In addition the required companion software (web browser software, Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc..) had to be able to interpret the HTML code to correctly display the web page on the user's computer no matter what brand or platform was being used (Mac vs PC) As a result early web pages were mostly text and had little if any graphics.
  While the creation of higher level dynamic web pages may still require the writing of code, modern graphical interface programs allow many a novice user to create dynamic and functional web pages/sites. We will begin exploring such a program as we cover some basic skills in web page design.
