What is HTML 4.01: Web Authoring Level 1?

If you have surfed the Internet, you undoubtedly have an idea of what Web pages are and have seen some of their capabilities and limitations. However, merely using the World Wide Web will not give you an understanding of how these pages are created. HTML 4.01: Web Authoring, Level 1 (Second Edition) is the first of three courses on the topic of creating Web pages with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). This course presents the basics of this foundational Web technology and enables you to create your own functional pages. You will create, modify, and test Web pages. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
