An XHTML Tutorial That Does Not Assume HTML?

Posted by timothy on from the why-not-just-teach-some-html-first dept.

stevelinton writes "I am looking for a tutorial similar to Dave Ragget's excellent HTML tutorial(s), but for XHTML 1.1. I am NOT looking for a "HTML to XHTML" conversion tutorial. I want to teach a class XHTML 1.1 from day 1, without assuming that they know any HTML at all. Does anyone know of such a thing?"

    XHTML is a set of tags that make use of most HTML tags, and yet wouldn't it be awesome not to have those HTML tags to begin with? It would save half the work.

    Likewise, does anyone know of a:

    C++ tutorial that does not teach any C keywords?

    Linux administration course that does not teach any Unix concepts?

    etc...
    Basically my point is, if it doesn't exist, it's because it shouldn't exist -- because if shoulds were woulds, we'd have a forest -- and we do, several big ones, mostly in the tropics, Q.E.D.

    So, yeah.
