  <overview>
    <p>
    This course extends the repertory acquired in the
    introductory HTML Authoring course.
    It assumes rudimentary knowledge of the authoring process.
    On this foundation it builds the ability to use many of
    the more popular and dramatic Web authoring techniques.
    </p>
    <p>
    It also presents, in detail, the mechanisms enabling the
    Web to serve as a general-purpose user interface.
    In particular, it discusses the hypertext transport protocol
    (HTTP) by means of which the browser and the server communicate,
    the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) that enables Web pages to
    drive custom-developed application software,
    and the Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
    that enable the Web to serve as the vehicle for delivery of
    data of any kind.
    </p>
    <p>
    From this course, participants can go on to specialize in
    site design, graphics production, programming, server
    administration, and related areas,
    having gotten a good grounding in the basics.
