CSS For Print Designers: Workshop (Cleveland, OH, USA)

What to expect?

There will be no lecture, no background on the history of the Internet, no boring crap that doesn’t help you build a web site. We’ll dive right in and show you how to code a site, then send you off with the tools you need to take it to the next level. You will need to bring a laptop, because you are going to get your hands dirty. This lab-style workshop was created specifically for print designers who are ready to take the next step in web design—to learn a little bit of code.

NOTE: This is a hands on workshop which requires you to bring your laptop. Also, be sure to check out the “what do I need to do before” section at the bottom of this page—there are a few other things you will need to do to prepare for the workshop. Don’t worry, it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. The workshop itself will last a little over two hours, during which you’ll actually code by hand. Notes for the material covered will be provided, so you can focus on the work and not remembering stuff. There will be a break and time to mingle before and after the workshop.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Is this workshop for me?

Do you know how to clear floats? If the answer is “yes,” and you actually know what that means, this workshop may be a bit basic. Otherwise, this workshop is for you.

1. Advance your career with web skills
2. Learn CSS layout and semantic HTML
3. Make designs that are easier to code
4. Actually understand what you’re doing

YOUR HOST, JD GRAFFAM

A Memphis web designer/developer, JD Graffam has presented to small groups on other web topics such as Search Engine Strategy,web standards and usability. 

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE?

1. Get a text editor like TextWrangler (Mac) or PSPad (Win).
2. Install Firefox and the Firebug plugin.
3. Install an FTP program like Filezilla and know how to use it.

NEOUPA - Remote usability studies: Get great results while saving time and money (Cleveland, OH, USA)

Jason Holmes and Aaron Rosenberg will be presenting on the topic of remote usability testing. They’ll be discussing the tools available, pros/cons of remote testing, and show results from remote usability studies.

They’ll show you how you can easily:

• Observe participants in the Wild as they explore the interwebs in the comfort of their own home office or kitchen table
  
• Facilitate a study in your pajamas, but without the usual public and professional embarrassment
  
• Recruit actual users of your actual website and find out what they actually do
  
•  Ditch that musty old conference room you’re using as a “usability lab” and still get great results
  
•  Watch users muddle through friction laden interfaces and threaten to call customer service

Remote usability testing…it’s like being there…only better!
