Murach's HTML, XHTML, and CSS
Note: We now have a new edition of this book entitled Murach's HTML5 and CSS3. So we recommend that you review that edition rather than this one, unless your curriculum requires you to do otherwise.
This book isn't a generalized survey text, but an in-depth text for career-oriented curricula.
So using the first 6 chapters, you can teach your students a professional subset of the HTML, XHTML, and CSS skills they need to produce today's web sites...more sophisticated skills than you'll find in most other full books! And building skills like these also builds the students' excitement and enthusiasm for the class.
Once you've completed the subset, you can cover any additional subjects you want, in any order. Here's a sampling:
- The chapters on adding audio and video files, working with print media, and delivering content for mobile devices cover common requirements that are tough to master otherwise.
- The chapter on JavaScript shows your students how to use tested JavaScript code so they can start adding features like image rollovers and slide shows to their sites right away...a terrific way to whet their appetite for any JavaScript course in your curriculum.
- The chapter on design is a powerful one. After mastering the mechanics in the subset, students are in a great position to appreciate the hows and whys of today's best design practices...and to apply them to their own sites using the practical procedures in that chapter.
Training aids in the book itself: Practice exercises
Training aids available in our Downloads section: HTML and CSS code for the web page examples shown in the book; Starting code for the exercises
Instructor's CD
The Instructor's CD for this book includes these materials:
- Instructional objectives by chapter
- PowerPoint slides for classroom presentations
- Starting code for the exercises in the book, plus exercise solutions
- Projects that have your students develop small, 3-page web sites using their own content (as a result, we don't provide solutions to these projects)
- Test banks in ExamView, Blackboard, and RTF formats
- HTML and CSS code for all of the full applications and most of the short examples shown in the book
