Features: Currently, many universities offer courses on web page creation and design. However, during the learning process, many students find it difficult to know how to create web pages, how to beautify them, or how to program within them to achieve special effects. This book is written based on such a need by frontline teachers who have long been engaged in web page creation, design, and Web development. It serves as a practical training manual to the "Web Page Creation and Design Tutorial" published by China Water Conservancy and Hydropower Press (ISBN 1SDN7-5084-1288-5). The book follows the principles of being easy to learn, understand, and master, introducing the use of common software and tools for web page creation and design through numerous examples. The book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapters 1 to 4 cover the basic knowledge and common tools for web page creation and design, including an introduction to website design, HTML web page design language, FrontPage web page design technology, and Dreamweaver. Chapters 5 to 7 mainly introduce tools for beautifying web pages, such as Photoshop, Flash, and Fireworks. Chapters 8 to 9 mainly introduce how to program within web pages and common programming language environments, including VBScript, JavaScript, ASP, PHP, and XML. Chapter 10 briefly introduces the construction methods of comprehensive websites and integrates the knowledge covered earlier. The book is thorough yet accessible, with appropriate selection of content, a rigorous structure, and a wealth of examples, making it suitable as a practical training manual for "Web Page Creation and Design" courses in various universities. It can be used in conjunction with the "Web Page Creation and Design Tutorial" or as a standalone training manual paired with other relevant theoretical textbooks. It can also serve as a reference for Web technicians. All programs in the book have been tested and run successfully, and readers can download the corresponding source code and materials from the China Water Conservancy and Hydropower Press website at www.waterpub.com.cn.
