Not sure what web development means?
Want to build a cool website, but don't know where to start?
Tired of techies throwing around acronyms that make your head spin?

Topics we'll cover:
• What's the difference between web development and web design?
• Where are web site files generally stored?
• What is the difference between a client and a server?
• What do you need to know before building a web site? What language should you use and what are the differences?
• What tools do you need to develop a web site?
• Who does what on a typical web development team?
• What is Web 2.0 and the Cloud?

This was a great meetup, educational and good for networking with other women who are currently in Web development and who are interested in getting more into Web development. Clarified the different people/functions in web development very well.

I just found out about this class today & I am disappointed it is full! Since there is such a long waiting list, is there any chance the class will be offered again soon?
April 25
Hi Susan, yes, we plan to offer it again. I don't know for sure how soon, but we will offer it as soon as possible. The computer lab only holds a limited number of people. I wish we could have a bigger class!
April 25
I went ahead and changed my RSVP too since it seems others need to go more and I'm not a beginner. I'll try to catch a future meeting! :)
April 23
It's not a problem! I was really looking to brush up and meet like minded individuals. I could definitely help out as a TA, for the time being. I'd really like to see how the classes function before making a jump to teaching.
April 24
Hi! I changed my RSVP and there is now a spot available. I will wait for the HTML/CSS class.
April 23
Undoubtedly a silly question but laptops allowed for easier note taking? I'm a far quicker typist than writer!
1 · April 9
Hi Jessica! There will actually be computers in the lab for you to use, so no need to bring a laptop unless you prefer to use your own machine.
April 9
Good morning. Can't seem to locate the Amazon pay link/button. Help?
Thanks,
