Pre-Requisites
We strongly encourage that you understand the following concepts:
- Basic HTML tags (table ,a href, tr, td, etc) - We can send you the
3 HTML labs in advance before the class if you are not familiar HTML.
Knowing the basic HTML tags will allow you to focus on WebSmart and
the PML which means you will get much more out of the class.
- Database concepts such as key fields and relationships between files.
- Being familiar with a PC (i.e. saving files to folders instead of
libraries).
- Familiarity with programming concepts such as record retrieval, file
editing, etc.
