Web Design Class: HTML Fundamentals

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

On January 24th, 2014 I taught the first version of this HTML Fundamentals course at the West Hollywood Library. The focus was on the essential knowledge one must have in order to code up a simple HTML page. I started with an introduction, followed by a rundown of the HTML tags, in which I toggled the presentation w/ Notepad and a browser to demonstrate how to the tags worked on an actual page about my fictional cat, Fluffy. After the demonstration I passed out a quiz, and then we went over the answers and tackled other questions. Based on this class, there are a few changes I will be making to the class and the presentation, so consider this v0.1 of this deck.
