An XHTML Tutorial That Does Not Assume HTML?

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

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?"

    I want to teach a class XHTML 1.1 from day 1, without assuming that they know any HTML at all.

    this should be extremely easy if you already know html. xhtml is almost exactly the same, but without all the text formating stuff that css takes care of. you can basically just teach html, but without mentioning anything that has a css equivilent. ;)

    What's the problem, seriously? You know XHTML? Take any HTML tutorial and customize it to remove the non-XHTML-like bits. That's it. Bingo. XHTML is just "correct HTML". Just make sure you don't teach incorrect stuff, but the rest is identical.
