Intro to Web Concepts (Beginner Level)

Not sure what web development means?

Want to build a cool website, but can’t decide what language to use?

Tired of techies throwing around acronyms that make your head spin?

In this class, we will walk through the fundamentals of web development in layman terms. We won't be writing code, this is intended as a lecture to take you through various components of the web and how they work together.

If you want to learn how to communicate better with your technical team or friend, this course is for you. Topics include but are not limited to:

What is the difference between a client and a server?
What are the different types of programming languages, how are they different, and how do I choose?
What do you need to know before building a web site?
Who does what on a typical web development team?
What does code look like? What are basic principals of code?

This class is for people with little to no technical experience. Bring a notepad, tablet or laptop to take notes and come prepared with questions.

Instructors: This class will be taught by GDI Cincinnati's Co-Chairs, Becky Blank & Becky Sroufe (http://girldevelopit.com/chapters/cincinnati).
