About the teacher:
Elise is an engineering director and front-end engineer at Monetate. Her specialties include HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, though she also has experience in PHP, VB, and C#. She has been a volunteer at Girl Develop It for the past year, assisting in numerous classes. She is a musician and operates what her husband refers to as the "gluten-free test kitchen" out of their home. You may have seen her fronting a rock band, presenting at the 2012 Geek Awards, or volunteering at other women-in-tech events around the city. You can connect with her on Twitter at @Not_Pele.
Tech Requirements:
Your laptop. Note: A netbook or tablet is NOT a substitute.
A modern browser with either Chrome and the "Web Developer" extension or Firefox and Firebug installed.

Hi- is it possible to Skype in to tonight's class? If not, is there a possibility to live stream the class? Babysitter trouble and don't want to miss out. Thanks!

Hi, Stephanie.
It's fine with me, if you'd like to cover the slides for Thursday on your own and rejoin us next Tuesday, but it could be a challenge if you prefer to learn in the classroom setting and depending on your prior experience. I am certainly available by email to answer questions outside of class hours, as well.
It's entirely up to you, as to whether you'd prefer to wait for another time when you could attend all classes in sequence.
August 19
I don't think I can come until 7 for each class. Would I miss a lot due to being late?
August 16
You should be ok. We'll probably mostly be getting settled in until 7 and starting promptly then, so please try to come in and set up quietly. :)

I have an Acer One notebook. Is that sufficient for this class? Is it ok as long as I can download the required browser and text editor?
August 13
Should be fine, as long as you're able to work fairly comfortably and quickly in those two applications, yep!
August 14
Sublime Text 3 is now out and it is asking for $70 for the licensing fee. Is it still recommended at the upgrade? Also, it isn't exactly free. Just curious, thanks!
August 1
Good question! You can register it for $70 or keep it unregistered for free - you'll just get pop-ups prompting you to upgrade you from time to time you can close out of. If you'll be making sites regularly, we highly recommend upgrading. Wait to decide after the class when you've used it for a bit.

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.
