Hi Lauren!
Hmm Im leaning toward probably not. We cover web standards and tags and very basic CSS. Its more recommended for those who know little or none or learned back in table-based land and want to know semantics of the p tag. :)Posted January 25 at 2:25 PM -

Thanks Jenn! It would be super great if a more advanced beginner/intermediate class could be held at some point!

I agree with Lauren, it would be great for a more advanced class! I know the basics but I want to get quicker and more efficient.

JENNNN! a quick question....we hired professionals to redesign our org's new website, but i will be in charge of uploading content and making some adjustments (primarily in dreamweaver) once it is all done. will this class be helpful for this? i think that i will need to know something about meta tags and when/where to add them when we add new content....i can always join just so i get to see you, regardless. :D

Hi Mar!! Hmm, its tough to say. If they are setting you up with a CMS, in theory, you shouldn't have to touch any HTML. That said, if you think you might need to adjust some styles (colors, font sizes, etc) then there might be a bunch of helpful content in this class! Also, it will let us hang out! :) I havent seen you in forever!

Tole HartI thought the meet up was very good. Jenn is an excellent teacher. It was a touch fast for me but I understand as Jenn was trying to get through a lot of information in 2 hours. Playing around with the script editor is going to help my familiarity with HTML and help me build a web site.

Mo MackThe teacher was awesome, the TAs were super helpful, the information was presented clearly and made so easy to understand! I'm so looking forward to the rest of the classes!

Jenn, would this class be appropriate for someone who is pretty familiar with basic HTML/CSS, but wants a refresher and also to learn both more semantically (especially in light of responsive design)?
