This is a stripped down version of these pages for older browsers. These pages are really meant to be viewed in a standards compliant browser.

Web Tutorials

General Notices

NOTICE!!!

If you can see this message, then these pages are a stripped down version of the real thing. They should all still work, more or less. They just will not look pretty. It is recommended that you use at least version 6.0 of any of the following:

  • Opera
  • Netscape
  • MSIE

Or use any standards-compliant third party browser.

There is only one of me, and since I teach, not design for commerical use, I have chosen to err on the side of coding to standards.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

If you think your browser can handle more, try the advanced version. The button to set it back to this version is there, though you may have to hunt for it.

Site Overview

These tutorials are part of a collection of online notes that have been developed for a series of classes I teach on various aspects of Web content development, Web design and programming for the Web. These courses are taught at Hudson Valley Community College. The notes have been broken out by topic and can either be entered that way, or in the sequence specified in the syllabi for the courses.

You can click on the above tabs to go to each section of the collection if you want to go in by topic. Otherwise the menu on the left includes links to the specific courses.

The sections of the site are color coded to make it a little easier to find your way around.

The Main pages of the site include:

  • My faculty contact information
  • The course syllabi and outlines for:
    • CISS 220 -- Web Page Development and Design
    • CISS 221 -- Advanced Web Development and Design
    • CISS 225 -- PHP Programming for the World Wide Web
    • CISS 227 -- Internet Programming with XML
    • WFD 60026 -- Usable Accessibility in Web Design
  • A Frequently Asked Questions section for the courses
  • A Links section that catalogs links to related resources

Admittedly, the site is not elegant, and there are far more kludges in here than I would care to admit to, but to the best of my knowledge it works. I also have a stripped down version that is generated for older browsers that are not standards compliant and can be accessed with the form button above if you are having problems with this version. This should solve most browser compatability problems.

For point of record, the code for this site strives strongly to adhere to standards (except in places where a little outdated coding ensures that examples work across more platforms). This means that some of the more advanced examples will not work in all browsers. It all depends on how well the browsers support current standards. The rank ordered quality of support across the big three for current standards and therefore for these pages is as follows:

  1. Opera 7 (except when it is #2)
  2. Netscape 7 (except when it is #1)
  3. Internet Explorer 6
  1. If you are using AOL's standard browser, you are going to have real problems with these pages. I'd recommend sticking with the dull-boring version, and expect the advanced examples to not work.
