Separating Content from Presentation
This week’s lecture will look at Separating Content & Presentation and how we appropriately use HTML & CSS to do this.
The learning objectives from this session are designed to equip you with the skills to use semantic markup to structure your document & then to use CSS to style it.
Homework 1.3
Carrying on from last weeks research into your chosen Web Designer, you are now asked to ‘Style’ your findings using CSS.
If you are struggling with homework 1.2, reading chapters 1 – 6 of HTML & CSS Web Standards Solutions: A Web Standardistas’ Approach will greatly improve your understanding of Semantic Markup. Chapters 8 – 13 will cover presentation using CSS, which is asked of you this week. If you have yet to purchase the book, please note this is required reading for the module and you can pick up a copy form Waterstones in Belfast or online.
All homework’s (1.1, 1.2 &1.3) should be completed and linked from your homepage by 10am on Thursday 20th October in preparation for the crit.
You should also make sure that your Research Diary & Creative Experimentation are up-to-date.
