Workshop participants will try out many of the actions described below using the workshop template. The Software Composer is the web editing component of the Netscape Communicator software package.
Web pages are just text documents.
They just appear to be something other than text documents when viewed with a web browser. However, using software specifically designed to create web pages visually can save a great deal of time. Many different programs exist that offer varying degrees of function and ease of use. Composer does have a good level of function, it integrates very well with Navigator, it's available cross platform, and best of all it's free. Composer is certainly a good place to start.
