Ever dreamed of designing and launching your very own website? We'll let you in on a little secret. It's easier than you think! In this beginner-focused two and half hour workshop, attendees will learn about the fundamental tools of front-end development (HTML & CSS) and build out their first very own website. Of course, Tech Talent South (http://techtalentsouth.com) will be providing wine to help fuel the creative process! Attendees simply need to bring along their own laptop and leave the rest to us.
This workshop will be held from 6:30pm to 9pm on Thursday, May 28th at Strongbox West (http://www.strongboxwest.com), which is located at 1040 West Marietta St. NW, Atlanta, GA, 30318.
Joanna Bennett was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. Growing up painting and playing piano, she developed a love for things both artistic and technical. Naturally, when she discovered the world of web design she found her passion and has enjoyed coding HTML and CSS ever since. She completed her Bachelor degree in Multimedia & Communication Studies at McMaster University. After graduating, she moved to Virginia and worked as a Multimedia Developer at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business designing award-winning interactive learning material. Joanna moved to Atlanta in 2008 where she earned her MFA in Interactive Design & Game Development from SCAD while also teaching Graphic & Web Design full-time at The Art Institute of Atlanta. Joanna absolutely loves sharing her passion for web design with others. When she’s not teaching or working, she’s learning. Otherwise, she’s out hiking, biking, enjoying vegetarian cuisine around town, or being her usual left-handed, Ukrainian-speaking, Canadian self. Joanna recently joined the team at Mandrill by MailChimp. We're excited to have her leading our workshop!
