ABOUT THIS TUTORIAL WEB SITE

This tutorial web site was created with and is specific to Claris Home Page on a Macintosh. However, most web authoring tools work pretty much the same. With a little intuition and fearlessness you can figure out the differences and make it work. The courseware is designed to be used in conjunction with a hierarchical structure of HTML and image files referred to as the "webclass folder". These files facilitate the ease of learning for students in a classroom environment. To use the courseware with out this set of files you must download the images off the web pages to your computer and recreate the original filing structure, or create your own and change the relative links. You will also have to copy and paste the text off the web pages and into your tutorial document. Go to this page for instructions on how to use this courseware without the class files. Eventually the webclass files will be available via FTP and a password when the course is finished and refined.

This web site tutorial is for the private use of the clients of its creator Martin Dunn/Artefx and not to be used in a professional environment without express permission of Martin Dunn/Artefx.
