HTML and Coding

Writing HTML and Code on Your Own


Texas A&M’s Getting Started on a Course Web Page (http://cis.tamu.edu/webhost/started.php):
If you want to set up a course web page on www.tamu.edu, here are the simple steps to getting an account so that you can publish to the web.

Designing a Website (http://www.its2.uidaho.edu/design/):
No coding, just design. An excellent resource for those putting their first page together or redesigning their site entirely. If you want a design resource that goes into more depth, try their link to Web Style Guide: Basic Design Principles for Creating Web Sites (http://info.med.yale.edu/caim/manual/contents.html).

HTML Made Easy (http://www.accessv.com/~email/webpages):
This is the best basic HTML tutorial on the web we have found to date. If you find one that is better, please write to balfour@tamu.edu.

Web Authoring (http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/authoring/):
Tutorials ranging from basic html to design, programming, multimedia production, all with various subcategories. The left hand menu lists the overarching topics of the tutorials. In fact,http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/ is the first place we look when we want to learn how to do something with web pages.

Web Building (http://www.utexas.edu/academic/cit/howto/resources/webbuilding/index.html):
From the University of Texas’ Center for Instructional Technologies, this site describes web authoring, and then goes much farther into information design and instructional design. While some of the information is only relevant to faculty at UT, the tutorials (basic and intermediate) and design tips (include accessibility) are applicable to all educators.

Web-based Training (http://www.webbasedtraining.com/):
An excellent design resource for those thinking about web-based courses instead of just web supplemented courses. The WBT Primer covers almost every angle and the site has links to MANY resources. There are links to learning theory sites and other topical sites that may interest any educator.

Start Learning Java (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/ ):
Sun created Java so why not go there for online tutorials?

Learning PERL (http://learn.perl.org/):
THE scripting language!
