This beginner-friendly course introduces learners to the essentials of XHTML and its practical application in web development. Through a structured, hands-on approach, students will explore the foundational syntax of HTML and XHTML, gain experience in writing compliant code, and use essential tools for development and testing.
The course is divided into two comprehensive modules:
• Module 1: Foundations of HTML and XHTML focuses on identifying structural elements, creating basic XHTML documents, and evaluating their validity using recognized web standards.
• Module 2: Tools for Writing and Testing XHTML trains learners to apply suitable code editors like Notepad++ and utilize browser-based developer tools, such as those in Firefox, to test and verify XHTML output in real-time.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to construct, format, and validate XHTML pages with accuracy using both textual and visual debugging tools. The course promotes critical thinking and attention to standards compliance—key skills for aspiring front-end developers or content creators working with web markup.
This module introduces learners to the core concepts of HTML and XHTML, providing a foundational understanding essential for web development. Students will explore the purpose, syntax, and structure of HTML, learn how to create and modify basic web pages, and understand the transition to XHTML through hands-on examples and document validation. They will gain familiarity with essential HTML/XHTML elements, document formatting practices, and the role of semantic markup. By the end of the module, learners will be equipped to create structurally sound and standards-compliant web pages using modern markup principles.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
