This 2-day HTML courseware covers XHTML. At the end, there is an optional lesson on HTML formatting, which could be useful for groups who are working with legacy code and need to understand what all those deprecated tags do. This courseware can be combined with Webucator's CSS courseware for a four-day XHTML/CSS course. Fast groups might be able to get through that course in three days.

Quotes from Students

Wow! So much information to digest in two days. The Training Manual will be a good resource for us in the coming months.

- S.H., Software Engineer, Sybase

The way the course was sectioned out flowed nicely. The classfiles in htdocs flowed perfectly with the manual. The material was relevant and presented in a clear manner.

The material was very well organized. I was able to catch up on languages I wasn't as much of an expert in (XML, Javascript), and then apply that to the greater goal (Ajax).

The materials, excercises, and class were perfect for me.

- R.L., Johnson & Johnson
