5 Latest version always available from http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/
6 Info for shareware sites below.

8 DESCRIPTION:
9 Easy to use web page authoring tutorials covering basic and advanced
10 web page design. The tutorials are in HTML format so you can go
11 through them with your web browser. If you've never created a web
12 page before, the basic tutorial will guide you gently though basics
13 of HTML. And, if you know the basics, the advanced tutorials will
14 show you how to add additional features to your page.
15
16 THESE TUTORIALS ARE DONATIONWARE:
17 Go to http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/donationware.html for
18 details.
19
20 A PRINTED VERSION IS AVAILABLE:
21 For $29 you can get the entire WebTutor series in a neatly bound
22 printed manual. The manual comes with a companion CD containing the
23 tutorials, tons of free clipart, generous discount offers on
24 selected software titles, and extra tutorial lessons not available
25 anywhere else. I can ship internationally and quantity discounts
26 are available.
27 As a nice little bonus, I'm ALSO including what's completed thus far
28 with JavaScript tutor. JavaScript Tutor is still a work in progress
29 so don't expect anything fancy... It's just several pages of text,
30 examples and exercises. Still, even in it's rough draft state, it
31 will give you a real workout and a jump on everybody else.
32 Go to http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/printversion/index.html for
33 details.
34
35 DISTRIBUTION GUIDELINES:
36 You may use and/or distribute them to your hearts content according
37 to the guidelines below.
38 - If you wish to translate them into another language, you can.
39 - If you are a teacher and you want to use them for teaching
40 purposes, you can. If you want to print out copies for your
41 classes, you can. (FYI: there is a printed version available)
42 - If you want to include them on a CD with other shareware/freeware
43 titles, you can. (I ask that you don't simply sell it outright)
44 - If you are a business and you wish to offer copies of WebTutor as
45 a free bonus with your regular products, you may.
46 - If you wish to offer the WebTutor download from your site, you are
47 welcome to.
48 - If you wish to re-post the tutorials on your own web site, you
49 may. Guidelines are detailed below.
50 - If, for some lame reason, you copy them verbatim and call them
51 your own, I will have no choice but to tell Mom, and boy will you
52 be in trouble!
53
54
55 RE-POSTING ON THE INTERNET:
56 If you wish to post the tutorials unaltered on your public or
57 private server, you are welcome to. As they are, the tutorials
58 contain advertising. Please leave those ads in place. If you must
59 ad your own advertising, add yours in addition to what's already
60 there.
61 When you put the files on your server, do not make changes to the
62 directory structure. Links within the tutorials are relative and
63 many are generated dynamically with javascript. If you mess with the
64 directory structure, links may not work properly. You'll notice that
65 since v4.1 there is another directory layer - "tutor". This makes
66 things easier for me. If you try to eliminate that extra layer,
67 things will get messed up.
68 Also, this repostable version has active Joke Break links. If you've
69 seen any of the jokes, then you know that many are on the raunchy
70 side. If you run a "clean" site and would rather these links not be
71 there then you can change that easily: In the root level of the
72 WebTutor directory there is a sub-directory named "other". Within
73 this directory is a file named "common.js". Open it with a text
74 editor (DO NOT USE FRONT PAGE OR THE LIKE) and change "jokebreak = 1"
75 to "jokebreak = 0". This will turn off the jokebreak links.
76
77 REQUIREMENTS:
78 1) Windows95/98. I've abandoned the 8.3 file naming convention. Win3x
79 users may have some trouble. They should however be able to access
80 everything online though. I'm not that familiar with other
81 operating systems, but I'm guesing the tutorials are still plenty
82 useable.
83 2) A graphical web browser with JAVASCRIPT ENABLED (it should be
84 enabled unless you dis-abled it ;-). Preferably Netscape
85 Navigator 4.0 or later. MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or later will
86 do also. If you use something other than the big two everything
87 should still be more or less OK. Very old browsers will hit a few
88 potholes.
89 3) A text editor. Notepad will do nicely for now. Windows9x users
90 will find Notepad by clicking Start/Accessories and clicking the
91 little blue Notepad icon.
92 4) A comfortable chair and an attractive member of the opposite sex
93 to tell you how computer geeks are sexy and to rub your neck if it
94 gets stiff.
95
96 INSTRUCTIONS:
97 Unzip and start with index.html. By default your system will
98 probably crank up your default browser when you double click on
99 index.html. If not, start up whatever you use for a web browser and
100 open that file via File/Open. Alternatively you can drag & drop
101 index.html onto your browser. Understand that sometimes getting
102 started with a new thing is the hardest part. If you are new to
103 computers or new to the Internet and web browsers in general, you'll
104 just have to be patient, persistant and maybe fumble around a little
105 at first. Everybody goes through it... you'll be fine. No files are
106 copied, moved, modified or otherwise scattered about your computer.
107 To "uninstall" these tutorials, simply delete the contents of the
108 webtutor directory.
109
110 EMAIL: I get a lot of email asking for help on this problem or that,
111 and I'm afraid there isn't enough time to answer them all. I do
112 answer a few occasionally however, and they all at least hit my
113 eyes. If you have a HTML problem, I STRONGLY reccommend you see
114 the various FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions). As sure as a bear
115 dumps in the woods, your question has been axed and answered before.
116 Look in the Table of Contents for "Frequently Asked Questions".
117
118 Have fun & good luck!

164 pay the bills.

166 v3.7 (Oct/99)
167 - Status changed back to Freeware. (They say the best things in life

203 - Improved navigation through the pages.
204 - Dumped the self-extracting exe distribution for a simple zip file.

208
209 What this 3.5 version is NOT:
210 - It's not a tutorial based on HTML 4.0 (it loosely follows 3.2)
211 - It doesn't get into Style Sheets
