HEAVY DUTY
This CD-ROM-based book contains interactive DHTML documents and allows the user to link to the Internet. A hands-on training manual for learning HTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, JAVA, and Multimedia.
Since it's in CD-ROM book form, you'll interact with the material of the book -- quite a nice package. And you'll need it once you decide to tackle DHTML.

"I've developed these hands-on tutorials over a number of years of teaching both in the classroom and online through the Internet. Users learn HTML, DHTML, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), JavaScript, JAVA, and multimedia programs (Authorware, Director) by actually developing documents and programs."

All rights reserved Before beginning this series of tutorials you should have a computer with a modem, Internet access, an Internet Web browser, a Web home page (or home page capability through your access provider), and a general knowledge of computer operations. The tutorials will refer to the Netscape Navigator browser in the illustrations, so that browser is preferable for your study. Some of the JavaScript tutorials will only work effectively with Netscape 4.x or MS Internet Explorer 4.x.

This series of tutorials assumes you have a working familiarity with:
- simple mouse actions such as right and left mouse button clicking, highlighting, and clicking and dragging
- simple file copying procedures, including selecting the drive, folder (or directory), and file name
- simple window procedures, including moving a window by dragging it with the blue title bar
- an operating system: Macintosh, Windows 3.x, or Windows 9x.
- a browser such as Netscape Navigator or MS Explorer
For best results, you should have your access to the Internet activated but execute these tutorials locally from your hard drive. With active Internet access, you can then link out to Internet sites listed in the tutorial material. The tutorials work best if you have as much open window area as possible. If you're using Netscape Navigator, go to Options and deactivate Show Toolbar and Show Directory Buttons. It's even advisable to deactivate Show Location if possible.

At the top of each page of this tutorial series is a Main Title Bar and a Tutorial Title Bar. The Main Title Bar provides access to Main Menu, Glossary, Review Quiz, and Test for Credit. The Tutorial Title Bar gives you access to separate sections of the tutorial.
