Cleveland , OH 44130
Description:
CSS PositioningFrom November’s meetup, we went over the basics of CSS layout. This will be stage two of CSS layouts. Expect lots of new ideas and a bit more hard core CSS layout structures.

We might even be able to harangue a few locals to explain how they accomplished their goals using CSS. I am hoping for maybe 5 to 10 volunteers to present short snippets of CSS tricks that they have used in about a five to ten minute session each.

We will also have a panel presentation on the current state of the CWSA website… Following the presentation will be a round table discussion and question session.

But most importantly we will cover PWDS. What is PWDS you ask? Why Pizza Web Design Standards of course! That’s right, as usual we’ll be having plenty of free pizza for all comers!
