College launches online course for web designers

According to a recent Babson-Sloan report, more than one in four students are enrolled in at least one course online, and most higher education institutions believe that increasing online classes and degrees is critical for their long-term success. As the demand for web-based programs increases, many schools are launching new online courses.

For example, officials from Montana State University recently announced the launch of two Internet-based classes, which are designed to teach people learn how to create web pages with HyperText Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP).

The introductory programming and web development with PHP course shows students how to design web pages with interactive features. HTML and CSS experience is a prerequisite for this class.

Those who wish to learn the basic codes for most websites may benefit from enrolling in the introductory HTML and CSS course. The class can help professionals who use programs such as Dreamweaver or Cold Fusion. It can also help students form a foundation from which to study other web programming languages.
