Last class we started talking about selectors in CSS. They are
probably the most complex part of CSS, so we're going to look at them
further in-depth. We'll also talk about the box model, the display
concept that makes words and containers on the web look like they do.

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

Frontend web development is all about making code that runs in the
browser (versus code that runs on the server). There isn't a big focus
on web design (creating wireframes and mockups), but we do cover best
practices for turning these designs into beautiful code.

The class starts on Monday at 8pm, and goes until 10pm! Plan to arrive
EARLY, as the class has been filling 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. Don't let it
discourage you if you're starting from the middle - 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:
