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.

Resources

The short presentation I use.
