Introduction
Welcome to HTML and JavaScript for Visual Learners. If youve never
used a Visibook before, youll find that it contains several hundred
illustrations, with comparatively little text. It presents essential tasks,
breaks them down into steps, then walks you through them with
illustrations.
What youll learn
Youll learn how to use HTML to create a
solid, attractive Web site thats easy to
navigate. Youll also learn how to upload
it to a Web server.
You wont become an expert in Web
publishingthat takes practice and real-
world experience. But you will learn the
fundamentals of site-building, and get a
good foundation on which to build
professional-level skills.
Additional resources for acquiring expert-
level HTML and JavaScript skills are
found at the end of this book.
• Basic word processing
Make sure you can perform the following tasks:
• Create a folder on your computers hard drive
• Create a folder within a folder
• Copy a paragraph from one document and paste it into another.
If you have trouble doing this, set
aside a couple of hours to learn
Windows basics. Have a friend or
co-worker who is proficient with
computers walk you through
Windows Explorer, creating folders
and becoming familiar with file
extensions.
You should also practice using the
Cut, Copy, and Paste commands in
a standard word processing
program. When you can do these
things on your own, youre ready to
learn HTML and JavaScript.
