On Monday, we'll take the knowledge we gained from looking at the CSS box
model, floats, and positioning, and work off of a mockup ([

annotated version (

to make a site that could pass as a professional design (but don't take my
word for it). Image assets can be found here:

Due to the long break between classes, I will hold an extended recap for
this class starting at 7pm. If you were planning on arriving at 7:30, I'll
try to cover the most recent material in the second half hour.

If you can't make it to this week's lecture, you can watch a live video
stream of the class. Join this Google+ Event to be notified of when to hop
on (you don't have to be a Google+ member):

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). 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 7pm. 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 - 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:
