HTML5 Hands-On - Chump to Champ - Part 1 (Academy Zone - Night Shift)

WordPress themes are littered with HTML5 and JavaScript these days. This is a course to chomp it up. It is for everyone - from absolute non-developers to hardcore programmers - who always wished to conquer this powerful new technology. We will start at the very basics and go all the way to the advanced features.

Why 8:15PM? It gives you time to get something to eat, settle down and run errands. This is a Night Shift Course that will follow our regularly scheduled meetup. Samir Damle will be participating in our round table discussion on best practices leveraging HTML5 and JavaScript for mobile development prior to instructing this course.

Checkout the reviews from Samir's previous event Google Technology and Developer Group - Washington DC.
