In this four-session workshop, participants will learn how to hand code a basic website using Hypertext Markup Language and Cascading Style Sheets. This course is perfect for anyone who wants to understand the nuts and bolts of building a website. No matter if you are going to use Dreamweaver or hire a designer, knowing HTML and CSS will greatly benefit your productivity and professionalism in the online world.

I always say that people should expect to walk away from this class with enough knowledge to be "dangerous." There's a lot to learn about web design and this course will be a great foundation for further exploration and skill development either on your own or in future classes.

ATTENTION: This class is BYOC (bring your own computer). Sydney's Cafe has wireless Internet so please bring a laptop that can connect to the Internet without wires. Mac or PC welcome. All the tools will be provided for you.
