A batch of 18 students were assigned to each faculty. The faculty expained to the students on HTML. HTML is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Students were showed how to create tables, lists, frames etc.

Students attending the workshop were also introduced to concepts of CSS basics which stands for ‘Cascading Style Sheets’ and is the language of design for web pages, giving site designers the ability to suggest how their site documents are styled. CSS is interpreted by all graphical web browsers regardless of device or operating system. It allows a logical division between the structure of a web page, (handled by the HTML) and the way it should look. CSS can be used to tailor the appearance of a web page specific to a particular device or screen size.

The workshop was interactive as well as hands on, with simultaneous practical sessions conducted by resource persons. The objective of this workshop was to reduce Skill Gap with Industry – Academia by delivering important programming skills which would be beneficial to students with regards to their placements in their final year. Students were encouraged and challenged to create their own websites and come up with innovative programming ideas.
