Many courses teach students how to create Web documents that work in class, but don\rquote t consider the direction that Web authoring is going. In }{\i\f1\cf1\cgrid0 HTML 4.01: Web Authoring Level 1}{\f1\cf1\cgrid0 , students learn concepts and do tasks that foster the transition from HTML to the most recent XML-based Web authoring language recommendation, XHTML 1.0, which will become the future standard. Th e theory behind this is to learn HTML this way now, so that there will be a minimal learning curve when the time comes to transition to XHTML. The students will also have the benefit of being introduced to the power and control of Cascading Style Sheets, which is a complementary technology to HTML that is changing the face of Web authoring. \par \par }{\b\f1\cf1\cgrid0 Target student:}{\f1\cf1\cgrid0 Students enrolling in this course should possess fundamental knowledge of personal computing and Internet technology. \par \par }{\b\f1\cf1\cgrid0 What's next:}{\f1\cf1\cgrid0 }{\i\f1\cf1\cgrid0 HTML 4.01: Web Authoring Level 1}{\f1\cf1\cgrid0 is the first course in this series. }{\i\f1\cf1\cgrid0 HTML 4.01 Web Authoring Level 2 (Multi-platform),}{\f1\cf1\cgrid0 the next course in this series, teaches student how to work with forms, use tables for layout, and use frames.
