By the end of this seminar, you should expect:

• To know what sort of things are possible on the Web.
• To have a basic understanding of how the Web works, and know enough about HTML to create moderately complex documents.
• To know how to perform the mechanics of document creation.
• To have actually created a few simple documents.
• To know where to go to get more information.

On the other hand, you should probably not expect:

• To know all there is to know about HTML, or to be able to create documents requiring very advanced Web features, such as scripts, forms, tables, searchable text, or image maps. (At least not right away.)
• To learn the details about how to create your own images, or record your own sounds and movies, or about how to translate among all the various multimedia file formats.
