1.      Enhancing Your Web Pages
Further HTML, CSS, Design and Accessibility
09:30 - 16:30 Tuesday 24th September 2002
At Strathclyde University
Having mastered the basics of HTML fairly quickly, many web developers will
then look for ways in which they can enhance their pages. For example, HTML
form tags can be used to create web page interfaces to allow (often complex)
user interaction. Cascading Style Sheets can also help developers exercise
precise control over the display of page content, whilst providing the
opportunity to present the same content in several ways (without maintaining
duplicate web pages!). Both methods are explored in this workshop.
Accessibilty is rapidly becoming the driving force behind the design
considerations for many web sites. This workshop will also investigate some
of the fundamental steps required to produce accessible content as well as
introducing current guidelines and web standards. This workshop provides a
platform from which to make the next step towards more attractive,
functional and accessible web content as well as providing a brief overview
of some more advanced technologies for web interaction and content
management/delivery.
This is a practical workshop for users of the World Wide Web who have had
some experience of creating basic web pages and want to develop their pages
further. Whilst it may be attended as a stand-alone workshop, it also
follows on from the Netskills workshop "Web Pages from Scratch".
2.      Databases on the Web
09:30 - 16:30 Wednesday 25th September 2002 At Strathclyde University Web
authors and database users are becoming increasingly aware of the massive
potential for integrating web and database technologies. There are many
practical uses such as providing cost-efficient information services or
intranets, revitalising legacy database systems, as a means of managing
web-based information, and for electronic commerce.  Originally one of the
first courses of its kind and now updated to include the use of the
increasingly popular PHP/MySQL combination, this is a practical workshop for
users of the World Wide Web who would like to understand how to publish
database-driven content on the web. The workshop gives both an overview of
some of the different tools and techniques available and teaches the
practical skills necessary to use them. It is suitable for anyone involved
in web publishing via either the internet or an intranet. In addition
database specialists who are considering web integration will find this
workshop useful.
Costs
The cost of each workshop is 120 pounds for participants from UK higher and
further education. Other participants should contact Netskills for the
relevant fees. Note: Costs include lunch, morning coffee and afternoon tea.
Joining details and further information will be sent to participants
prior to the workshop
Kind Regards
