  <overview>
    <p>
    In this course, you learn by doing.
    In a series of hands-on exercises, you
    acquire the basics of Web page authoring.
    </p>
    <p>
    In the first exercise, you build a simple Web page.
    As the course progresses, you apply more techniques
    and the simple page grows.
    You add
    paragraphs, lists, horizontal rules, font changes, hyperlinks,
    images, and special characters.
    Techniques for adapting existing ("legacy") documents are
    practiced.
    You also learn to leverage from the source code of
    documents already on the Web.
    </p>
    <p>
    In addition to the practical skills listed above,
    you learn the underlying concepts of the Web:
    the role of the author and of the Webmaster, strategies for
    authoring (using specialized HTML tools, converting from native
    word processor formats, writing raw HTML), and new paradigms
    for non-linear media.
