[Noisebridge WebDev] Front-end Web Development, January 26, 8pm: CSS floats

[Jeffrey Carl Faden]

We're taking a week off for Martin Luther King, Jr. day, so our next class
is on January 26.

While I have your attention, Noisebridge is in serious need of your
donations! Monthly expenses currently dwarf monthly income, so ramping up
monthly repeating donations is a high priority right now.

Maybe it's an unfair comparison, but the cost of front-end classes at your
average programming boot camp can easily exceed $10,000! Especially for
those of you taking my class, or those of you who have taken it in the
past, please show your support by using one of the following methods to
help Noisebridge out:

Thank you!

Floating is the secret sauce behind creating websites with multiple
columns, navigation menus, and basically any block element that's aligned
to the left or right. On January 26, we'll learn about floats by taking a
look at some examples, then take a mockup (

a site from it.

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.

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 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 - 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:
