Teaching HTML

Hi there

I have been asked to teach HTML to a group in our local village
community. It is nothing too serious, just a community development
grant aided scheme. It will be a 10 week course of two hours per week
and will mainly consist of mature students. I may or may not include
GUI's depending if I can fit it all in to the time allocated.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to any useful teaching
resources for HTML on the web ie a course syllabus or teaching material
etc to give me an idea of how to structure the course.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Don

.... looks like a great starting platform.

here is some good vibration stuff for your students to read into...
http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/
..... its old, but all still relevant.

and this one...
http://web.mit.edu/acs/webguide/design.html
.... although out of date, and tqargetted specifically for the design of
a particular type of site, there are some good tips in there.

Mark Tranchant's tutorial is pretty good and based on good HTML practice
(unlike some tutorials out there):

Well, after years of teaching grade 12 students c++, I've decided to make a switch to Python. Why? * interactive mode for learning * less fussing with edit - compile - link - run - debug - edit - compile - link - run -..... * lots of modules * I was getting tired of teaching c++! Bored teacher = bad instruction.

This post is not strictly Python-specific, still I would like to learn other university teachers' opinion. Currently, I'm teaching "introduction to OO programming" at the undergrad level. My syllabus this semester consists of a bit of Python (as an example of a scripting language) and C++ (as an example of a compiled language). With C++, I go all the way up to meta-programming. My question now is: do you think I should switch over to...

I am going to teach a basic Web design course (fundamentals of HTML/CSS, plus some basic client-side (JavaScript) and server-side (PHP, perhaps XSLT) scripting). Most of the students do not have any previous knowledge of all of this. I am strongly considering teaching XHTML 1.0 Strict instead of HTML 4.01 strict, for the following reasons: - XML syntax is far more simple to teach than HTML/SGML, simply because there are not as many...

I am teaching C# to my 11 year old child. One challenge is that all the C# books I own and that I have seen in bookstores are full of language that is not easily comprehended by a student at that age. Can anyone recommend books (or perhaps websites) tuned for younger audiences? BTW, its amazing how fast a student can absorb this kind of information at that age. Lucky them! Thanks, Bruce

I teach physics at a community college, and ca. 2000 I experimented with using python as a teaching tool. The point wasn't to teach programming per se, but simply to give students a way of solving problems numerically when there isn't any way to get a closed-form solution using algebra or calculus. Other physics teachers have done similar things using spreadsheets, but personally I think that's a horrendous approach -- partly because...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
