I recently gave a lecture about HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for members of the Web Tech Group at RPI. But Brian Michalski recommended that I share my notes from the lecture with the world on the Web Tech Blog, so I’m doing that now. This is the first in what will likely become a series of tutorials to help members of the team grow in their skills and appreciation for web application design. Next time, I’ll likely employ some ZaikMagic (TM) in order to create an entire web app from start to finish, with an effective user interface to boot.
The notes from my talk are now online. Please let me know if you have any questions. This tutorial covered the basics of HTML and CSS, including the general structure for HTML pages, the block model in CSS, basic CSS syntax, cascading effects, and using floated divs for layout.

I’ve been looking for a concise and well-written, easy-to-follow CSS/HTML tutorial and wow, your notes are incredible. Everything I need to know and a great reference for when I forget certain tags and syntax. Thanks much!
Thanks a lot, Scott! I’ll be putting more notes online for future tutorials with web application design and user interface, so stay tuned for those!
