POWERUp 2019

HTML is like the display file DDS of web pages – just as you can’t write interactive RPG applications without DDS, you can’t write interactive web applications without understanding some HTML. CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, is an extension to HTML which simplifies the construction of attractive, consistent, and highly functional web sites. These languages are browser-based, and therefore universal and fairly standardized. Anyone intending to develop PHP or other web applications must have a good understanding these client-side web languages. This lab is geared toward the RPG programmer with limited experience working with HTML. In this lab you will learn about and practice basic HTML markup tags, tables, forms and input fields. In addition, you will learn about what CSS is and how it works, how to use style properties on individual HTML tags, and how to create document-wide and site-wide style sheets. This lab is a recommended (not mandatory) pre-requisite to John’s PHP and JavaScript labs.
