    Hi,
    I have a girl in the office who wants to learn html.
    can anyone recommend a taught course in html and css?

    Day or night courses acceptable.
    She needs to learn coding so i'd prefer a course that focuses
    on this rather than wysiwyg editors such as dreamweaver (we don't use it).

    Also, the css aspect is important as is , perhaps , a little javascript.

    I've had a look around but surprisingly haven't been able to
    find anything suitable in this country.
    She's even thinking about going to the uk to do
    this course - http://www.enterprisestudy.com/View.aspx?p=44&zz=35662500&c=2638

    Any irish equivalent people could recommend?

    Thanks

    have you considered any video/e-learning courses?

    I think lynda.com offer html et al and there are many others

    Where in the country is she ? I do some work for Assist Training in Limerick and they'd be happy to oblige....

    The course content doesn't sound the best, talk of tables, embedded tables, frames, importing stuff from Word etc. all sounds very outdated and bad practice at this stage. And no mention of divs, fluid layouts or advanced css...

    Not what was asked for but http://www.w3schools.com/ is free and well respected. It teaches html, css, etc in bite sized lessons and is well written. Follow that up with a subscription to the excellent lynda.com at $25/month and she'll probably learn more than she would from the night course.
