Front-End Web Development Workshop: Web Forms

This workshop is going to be more hands-on than our earlier ones. In this workshop I will do less presenting, and you will do more coding.

We will take a step back and have you build a simple form. It will involved HTML, CSS, and JavaScript / jQuery.

I will quickly go over the various ways of implementing a form along with consideration, options, and real-life challenges. It will be you responsibility to work through the details, and figure it out. My role will be to simply unblock any challenges you may face and make sure you can complete the task at hand.

Notes
Please, bring your laptop. You do not need a graphical software. If you want to do the back-end component you can either code it (I'll show you how) or apply the mock services as we explored in prior workshops. If you are unfamiliar with either method, please let me know so I can give you more detailed instructions. If you do not want to mess with the back-end, let me know and I will

Bring your laptops, will to learn, open mind. WiFi will be provided at no cost.
