I volunteered at Scout Enterprise to get a feel for teaching a basic web design course. Having knuckled down, created a first draft of the course and have exhausted testing the material myself. I felt I needed to release it to the world :)

The course material has been exported to many formats so the various operating system environments (See formats folder) can view them. Please note the course was originally made using AbiWord, I wanted to see what it like using the word processor. The other formats may need minor format correction.
