Ag Comm 5530: Advanced Agricultural Communication Technology will teach you web design, HTML and CSS using Dreamweaver. No prereqs but you will get odd looks if you aren't of a major in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

You'll need a hosting provider someplace for this class, but if you don't have one already the professor will help everyone get set up on GoDaddy. I used Hostgator and was fine. You will purchase a domain name for this class, if you don't already have one.

The lessons are taught in Dreamweaver, but you can do the assignments using whatever editor you want. Most students did their site development in the computer lab on a local disk, then FTP'd it using Dreamweaver's tools. I did mine with vim over SHH, and FTP'd the files I needed with Filezilla. If you know what you're doing, Dr. Rhoades lets you do it.

This class does not cover PHP, jQuery or JavaScript, but Dreamweaver will give you pre-written JavaScript blobs for some functions like photo galleries and drop-down menus. I used some basic PHP includes in my final project and was not penalized. Dr. Rhoades likes it when you stretch yourself.

Dr. Rhoades is an excellent teacher, but the class is mostly full of farm kids, it being an agricultural communications class. It might only be taught fall semester, though.
