The Underscore Archives

> Some of the young pups here would like to learn HTML and CSS. Anyone know of any trainers that could do me a little in-house 3-day course? At present they're using Frontpage so I'll go with whichever HTML editor the tutor recommends.

Hi Jason,
I'm sorry I don't know who the young pups are or how old they are or
the context of your request.

But when I was teaching the Year 11s at the school I used to work at I
found a great book for getting them off on the right track.

Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS

And use any text editor not necessarily a specific HTML editor, ie
steering clear of WYSIWYGs
a sample
http://www.pspad.com/
http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ (might be good for your needs,*not used it)
http://www.jedit.org/ (java based run anywhere)

FireFox with the Firebug plug-in

3 days would be ample to work through the book
Maybe have any front end developer on hand to answer questions, show tricks etc.

Just an idea
