SAM on Web Design with HTML 2005

scottalanmiller

In 2005 I used to be the IT Director for a K12 school in Castile, New York. Because there were very few tech classes in the school, and nothing available to the community, I offered a Web Design with HTML community class over six weeks open to the school and community. It was my second time teaching (I taught Fortran and C Programming in 1994-1995), but my first time with such a formal class. This would be where I started preparing for things like conference speaking, which I started doing just four years later. I just found these and thought that I should get them up on YouTube and share them with everyone.

Please keep in mind, this is 2005 and I was specifically teaching the underpinnings of web design to non-technical people, mostly students in the middle school range, with an eye towards getting them to understand more about computers and the Internet.

The school at the time was 100% Suse Linux, so using vi on Suse was how the students practiced the material here.
