Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. If you'd like to work on an
assignment related to media queries discussed yesterday, here it is:
https://github.com/JeffreyATW/fwd/blob/master/series8/class17/assignment.md

On Monday, we'll take the knowledge we gained from looking at the CSS box
model, floats, positioning, and CSS3, and work off of this mockup and its
annotated version to make a site that could pass as a professional design:

This class will require the use of Middleman (https://middlemanapp.com/),
as we'd like to make this as realistic of a project as possible. As a
bonus, we'll learn how to use preprocessors like Sass to help us with our
code.

If you can't make it to the lecture, you can watch a live video stream of
the class. Join this Google+ Hangout event to be notified of when to hop on:

This video stream will also be available to watch after the class is
complete.

--- The usual details follow ---

Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript - and put them to good use! This weekly
lecture series, taught by Jeffrey Carl Faden, is aimed at complete
beginners who are interested in making websites, as well as seasoned
professionals looking to brush up on the latest and greatest.

Front-end web development is all about making code that runs in the browser
(versus code that runs on the server). This class focuses on writing
interactive web applications, taking designs and turning them into code,
and much more.

The class starts on Monday at 8pm, and goes until 10pm! Plan to arrive
EARLY, as the class can fill up very fast. We will have a recap of last
week's material starting at 7:30pm. If you're either new, couldn't make
last week's class or you simply need a refresher, come early and we'll go
through a simple tutorial.

This class does go in a series, but the series can last up to half a year.
Don't let it discourage you if you're starting from the middle - watch
previous class videos, attend recaps and labs and you should be able to
catch up!

This class and the space in which it's taught are entirely free to attend.
Please bring a laptop. Read all of the details here:
