About this Class:
This is your chance to learn an incredibly useful skill that you always wanted. Whether you're a beginner who wants to get started in web development, a future designer looking to hand-code their concepts or a future marketer and entrepreneur who wants to get a head start in life. You'll have an incredible advantage knowing HTML and CSS early on. Oh, and colleges will love you too.
This workshop is designed for the beginner programmer so NO previous coding knowledge is required. We'll go over key coding terminology and principles, introduce HTML and CSS languages and what their functions are and how they work together. We will then use that new knowledge to write our own code and create our own simple site during our workshop.
Each class will be a 1 to 1 1/2 hour teaching plus the 1 1/2 to 2 hour “lab” for the rest of the time where students can work on an assignment related to what they just learned. (Total of 3 hours per day). These lab assignments are listed below.
