Intro to HTML/CSS

Want to learn how to build your own website? Already have your own Tumblr/Wordpress/etc site, but want to have more control over it? Interested in learning to program but want to start small? This class is for you!

We will guide you through the basics of HTML and CSS, give you some readily-applicable skills, and answer any questions you may have along the way.

The course will be facilitated by Erin M. Kidwell, local GDI coordinator, and taught by Heather Glenn Rock, experienced software developer.

This 4-class HTML/CSS course runs for four Thursdays:

    Just read the article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, and have been looking for a way to build my IT knowledge. I hope to build my IT expertise and, as an IT recruiter, help my candidates and clients connect more effectively. Looking forward to learning more!
