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.

December Web Standards Meetup (Cleveland, OH, USA)

The following is from the Cleveland Web Standards Association, an active Meetup group with 100+ members. (http://webdesign.meetup.com/396/calendar/6637123/?from=list)

When:

Tuesday, December 4, 2007, 7:00 PM

Where:

Tri-C West Campus
11000 W Pleasant Valley Rd Room WSS G4B (lower level of West Student Services/Galleria).
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!
