HTML

I have taken alot of courses and workshops over the years in HTML. I find it is much like learning a foreign language, in the sense that if you don't use it you forget it. Still, I have also found that there is no need to keep all those tags and rules in my head. Once you learn the basics of how to structure a page, it really is just a matter of knowing where to go to find instructions on how to do specific things you can't remember. Obviously, if creating HTML is a core component of your job, it helps efficiency considerably to not need to be looking in a book every time you want to code something. But, if HTML is something you only use infrequently, then once you grasp the key concepts keeping some HTML resources handy for reference is sufficient. The resources provided in D2L this week were sufficient for completing the assignment requirements. I also referred to Dave Raggett's websites on basic and advanced HTML and some CSS, which are very clear and easy to follow:

There is also an excellent series of tutorials on HTML 4/5 with CSS available through the UA VTC site. This is an amazing resource for UA students which I wish I had more time to explore and learn from.
