Just a reminder - this is happening on Monday!

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.

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.

This is the first class of a new series of classes. If you or your friends
been waiting to jump in from the very beginning, this is the class to take
- so spread the word. 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
- Explaining the role of frontend web development as a job and career

The class starts on Monday at 8pm, and goes until 10pm! Plan to arrive
EARLY, as the class will probably fill up very fast. There is no recap this
week, for obvious reasons.

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

complete.

This class and the space in which it's taught are entirely free to attend.
