Revision as of 16:04, 3 April 2013
What
Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript - and put them to good use! This class, taught by Jeffrey Carl Faden, is aimed at beginners who are interested in web development, as well as seasoned professionals looking to brush up on the latest and greatest.
Frontend web development is all about making code that runs in the browser (versus code that runs on the server). There isn't a big focus on web design (creating wireframes and mockups), but we do cover best practices for turning these designs into beautiful code.
Who
This class is for everyone! Complete beginners and more experienced developers are welcome at any time. If you're new to the class, consider coming to the lecture at 7:30 for a recap.
The space and the class are entirely free to attend. You do not have to be a Noisebridge member.
Please bring any kind of laptop.
When
Lectures start promptly at 8pm on Mondays and go for two hours. There is a half-hour recap starting at 7:30pm. Please try to arrive early as physical space is limited.
Labs start at 8pm on Thursdays and can go up to two hours.
This class runs in a weekly series, and the curriculum takes about 5 months from start to finish. Don't let it discourage you if you're starting from the middle - attend recaps and labs and you should be able to catch up!
Where
Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St., San Francisco, 94114 (at 18th St., near 16th St. BART station). Getting Here
The lecture is currently held in the Church classroom, which is in the back of the space.
The lab is currently held in the Turing classroom, the room past the wood shop.
Read up on getting in to the space. TL;DR: ring the bell!
Keep Informed
Join the WebDev or Noisebridge-announce mailing lists to be notified of upcoming class topics via email.
If you can't make it, subscribe to a mailing list to be notified when you can watch a live stream of the lecture! If you missed it, previous lecture streams are available for viewing on the Previous Classes page!
