WEB DESIGNING

web designing/ history:

•      In 1996, Microsoft released its first competitive browser, which was complete with its own features and tags. The html markup for table was originally intended for displaying tabular data. HTML sites were limited in their design options, even more so with earlier versions of HTML. To create complex designs, many web designers had to use complicated table structures or even use blank spacer .Gif images to stop empty table cells from collapsing.CSS was introduced in December 1996 by the W3Cto support presentation and layout.
•        In 1996, Flash (originally known as Future Splash) was developed. At the time, the Flash content development tool was relatively simple compared to now, using basic layout and drawing tools, a limited precursor to Action Script, and a timeline, but it enabled web designers to go beyond the point of HTML, animated GIF sand JavaScript.

 Areas of a Web Page

HTML

  n HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
  n HTML is a markup language
  n A markup language is a set of markup tags
  n The tags describe document content
  n HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
  n HTML documents are also called web pages

CSS

  nCSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets

  nStyles define how to display HTML elements

  nStyles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem

  nExternal Style Sheets can save a lot of work

  nExternal Style Sheets are stored in CSS files

PHOTOSHOP

nImage editing program

nShows images as bitmaps

nBitmap =  arrangement of dots (pixels) on grid

    nDon’t confuse bitmap with file type called .bmp - just a descriptive term

nPixel = “Picture element” - smallest unit of an image

nSize of pixel depends on resolution

   nTypical web image: 72 dpi
   nTypical print image: 300 dpi or hgher

nEnd result can be saved in variety of ways: .bmp, .jpeg, .gif, .tif

JAVA SCRIPT

  nJavaScript is used in millions of Web pages to improve the design, validate forms, detect browsers, create cookies, and much more.

  nJavaScript is the most popular scripting language on the internet, and works in all major browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, Opera.

CORAL DRAW

         Corel DRAW is a vector illustration program. Images are displayed on the computer screen as pixels.
         How the program treats the pixels is determined by whether the image is defined as a vector or a 
         bitmap. A bitmap file defines the position, color and size of each pixel. A vector program defines a line 
         of pixels and treats them as a single object. To change an object in a bitmap, you must change all the 
         pixels, so if a red box on a blue background needs to be smaller, you have to re-create a smaller red
         box and change the pixels where the box was to the blue background. When you have a vector 
         image, you redefine the size and location of the lines. Each object is independent of the others and can be manipulated as needed.

FLASH

  n Hopefully by the time you have completed this course you will have enough understanding of Flash that you can start to use it in your projects. Adding a bit of flash to your website can make it look good, but becarful to not go to wild with it as things can become slower and flash is the not the best to get good ranking

  nThings you will need for this course.

  nInternet Connection

  n Lots of obsession time
