These are academic courses, not training courses. So whilst you'll encounter development tools such as HTML, DHTML,XHTML, the emphasis will always be on the broader issues of planning, designing, and managing. You'll learn something of the strengths and weaknesses of these various tools, you'll even be expected to use them within project work, but in the end the primary aim is to empower you to make decisions that matter.
