Website Concepts for Creative-types
Wednesday, December 19 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Nate Cooper, author and teacher
The class is designed to help right-brained professionals with a need to learn web basics answer questions like “What is hosting?”. Anyone transitioning from a design job to a web job or business professionals who want to speak a common language with technical colleagues are also welcome. Get started building that website you’ve had on the backburner. Learn concepts like front-end vs. back-end development, HTML/CSS and how to set up a Wordpress website.
Student Takeaways:
Understand hosting and have a conceptual understanding of front-end versus back-end
Learn HTML/CSS basics and see where to learn more
Explore how WordPress works and why it’s useful
Level Pre-Requisites:
Beginner/intermediate. This class assumes the student knows what a website is but nothing more. We will look at some basic HTML/CSS tags so the student should be comfortable at least looking at code and beginning to understand it.
Preparation:
Students are not expected to follow along but might want to take notes during the class. We will be discussing software needed to build a site during the class. If students want to get a jump and can keep up with the pace of the material they are welcome to follow along with the HTML/CSS tutorial if they have a text editor installed on their computer prior to class. Recommended free editors: Mac Text Wrangler, Windows Notepad++. Please note, that the class moves swiftly and students should only attempt to follow along if they are comfortable working on their own.
