Ellenn Behoriam started AGAINST THE CLOCK when she realized there was a profound need for training Graphic Arts Professionals. Manufacturers, such as direct-press printing companies, were spending hours and days correcting files and reworking final files they receive from typesetters. Ellenn's original program was designed to offer strong advice to novices delivering completed projects to vendors. Since then, Ellenn has designed the AGAINST THE CLOCK curriculum for schools and corporate training environments.

  As HTML evolves into XML and XMHL, there's a clear need for a book that takes the beginning web programmer from the basics through the most current coding practices. HTML and XHTML: Creating Web Pages does this and more by building a solid knowledge base that allows the creation of industry-compliant code. With a focus on valid HTML tag structures, the book employs the W3 transitional standards, ensuring proper display of your web pages in the maximum number of currently-supported browsers. Online validation of the book's code and the results of the exercises and projects teaches a structured way to write efficient, effective, and technically accurate HTML web pages.

Beginning with the basic interface, and moving on to the inclusion of forms, interactive content, rich media, e-commerce technologies and more, this ATC book provides a means for a beginning web designer or experienced site manager to learn this complex and powerful development tool. The reader will—by the end of the book—have a thorough and complete knowledge of using FrontPage to develop, publish, and maintain the most complex of Websites.
