HTML Cookbook Table Course

Welcome to the HTML Cookbook Table Course. This course is a series of interactive lessons that take place at Html.Help.Gnubee, a WebTV/MSNTV newsgroup.

The only way to learn tables is to work with them, so most lessons include a homework assignment. Most lessons also have a key concept or a table tip and some code to copy and paste. To do well on this course, you should have some basic HTML skills and your own webspace.

Anyone is free to follow along at the group or from this page to study individual table topics.
