Front-end Web Development
What
Weekly class on HTML/CSS/JS, currently taught by JeffreyATW.
We'll cover the (very) basics:
- Explaining the separation between structure, presentation, and behavior
- Writing a basic HTML page
- Styling the page with basic CSS
- Discussing tools of the trade
Then we'll get to talking about a different topic every week. Some topic ideas include:
- CSS positioning (will be the topic for 2011-11-22)
- HTML5 elements
- CSS3 properties
- jQuery
- Accessibility
- HTTP
- Cross-browser compatibility (and graceful degradation)
- The box model
- Possible focus on web frameworks, although that's not particularly "frontend"
When
8:00pm every Monday.
If you're totally new to HTML/CSS/JS, I'll have a quick rundown starting at 7:30pm.
Where
Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St., San Francisco, 94114 (at 18th St., near 16th St. BART station). Map
Read up on getting in to the space. TL;DR: ring the bell!
Who
Everyone! Complete beginners and more experienced developers are welcome (and you could probably teach me a thing or two).
The space and the class are entirely free to attend. You do not have to be a Noisebridge member (I'm not, currently!)
Please consider bringing a[ny kind of] laptop, as the available machines are somewhat limited.
