 Overview
While today’s Web application development tools help make web design easy and quick, many users are limited in their ability to customize or troubleshoot their websites because they are not familiar with web design fundamentals or are unaware of good design practices.
This flexible, fully-online specialized studies program provides an understanding of the fundamental building blocks of web site creation and design including the use of scripting to add functionality, server-side programming to handle web forms and allow interactions with database servers, and image processing to enhance the appearance of web content. This essential knowledge is ideally suited to those designing a web presence for small organizations with the goal of offering website visitors a more professional look and feel.
Who Should Attend
This program is ideal for people who have been using a web design tool such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage but wish to gain more knowledge about the technology “behind the scenes.” If you are completely new to web development, this program will give you an excellent entry into the web design field because it begins with fundamental technical concepts that do not require any previous programming skills and expands into more sophisticated concepts that prepare you to become especially successful using a web design tool.
Typical students in this program work for small organizations that need a professional-looking web presence but do not have a dedicated web development staff. People who are interested in developing high-quality web sites for their own personal use will also find the program useful.
