Upcoming Web Classes

We're offering a number of web-related classes in the next couple of months. We generally only offer these classes once or twice a year, so now is your best chance to take them. As an added bonus, participants in the first three classes will walk away with a book. Feel free to contact us at odc@psesd.wednet.edu with any questions (or follow the links below to sign up).

HTML with Style Sheets
Jan. 14

This class will teach you how to write standard HTML, the building block of the web. You will also learn how to create cascading style sheets, a technique that makes your pages look great. If you've used a HTML editor like Dreamweaver, GoLive, or FrontPage, this class can help you understand what's going on "behind the scenes." Or, if you've never created a web page, this class can give you a great jump start on your way to becoming a webmaster. The course fee includes a copy of the CSS Pocket Reference by Eric Meyer. This handy book contains details on the most commonly used styles, and we'll be using it throughout the class.

Introduction to SQL
Jan. 21.

SQL (Structured Query Language) allows you to access data in a variety of relational database systems, including Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, My SQL, and Oracle. This class covers the basics of inserting, updating, and retrieving data. We will work directly with a relational database system, and also get some hands-on experience with embedding SQL into popular middleware languages such as ASP or ColdFusion. Course fee includes a copy of O'Reilly's "SQL in a Nutshell" reference book.
