HTML 5 fundamental training

The basics of web design for beginners

This Seminar will introduce you step by step to the basics of web design with HTML 5 and CSS. This seminar is a practical training. The participants will be doing exercises and little projects to get a practical experience of the process of web design. Normally we use simple programming editors like Notepad++, Textpad, ... to perform our coding. However, if the seminar is held as an inhouse training and the workstations are equipped with the Adobe Dreamweaver Development Environment, we can use this as well. I have already held many courses with Dreamweaver and have also special exercise material for this IDE.
