Lecture

Weekly talk on HTML/CSS/JS aimed at beginners, currently taught by JeffreyATW. Meets every Monday at 8pm, with a recap at 7:30.

Class for 2012-04-09

THIS is the class to attend if you are a complete beginner! We are starting the curriculum of this class from square one. We'll cover the (very) basics:

  • Explaining "frontend" vs. "backend"
  • Discussing tools of the trade
  • Explaining the separation between structure, presentation, and behavior
  • Writing a basic HTML page
  • Styling the page with basic CSS
No recap for this class. Please show up promptly at or before 8pm, as physical space is limited.

Previous classes

We discuss a different topic in-depth every week. Some topics include:

Future class ideas

  • CSS grids
  • Precompiled code (Less, Sass, Compass, CoffeScript, HAML)

Lab

We also meet for a weekly lab/workshop where we work on an assignment that covers the material learned in the lecture earlier in the week. Those working on their own personal projects are also more than welcome to come and solicit help. Every Thursday at 8:00pm.

Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St., San Francisco, 94114 (at 18th St., near 16th St. BART station). Map

The lecture is currently held in the Church classroom, which is in the back of the space.

The lab is currently held in the Turing classroom, the room past the wood shop.

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). If you're new to the class, please consider coming to the lecture at 7:30 for a recap.

The space and the class are entirely free to attend. You do not have to be a Noisebridge member (I'm not, currently!)
