Introduction to HTML/CSS -- December 6 and 7

Want to learn how to build your own website? Interested in learning to program? This class is for you! We will guide you through the basics of HTML and CSS, give you some readily-applicable skills, and answer any questions you may have along the way.

This class will be offered over the weekend of Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7. Each class is from 10am - 3pm (4 hours of class time each day + time for breaks and lunch).

*Note: this class was originally scheduled for the weekend of October 25-26.

We are honored to have CJ Sinner teaching our 2nd Intro to HTML/CSS course. She's been dabbling in HTML since she was an editor at her college newspaper (The Minnesota Daily!). Her first big-girl job was as the online editor for the Bismarck Tribune, where those skills built on themselves as she taught herself to customize their website or story pages. Finally, she went to graduate school (for journalism) and took a course in Interactive Design where she finally became fluent in HTML and CSS and a little bit of JavaScript, built her own personal website (cjsinner.com (http://cjsinner.com/)) by starting with a blank text editor. She also built custom Tumblr themes and dabbled in Wordpress themes. Now, she works for the Pioneer Press in St. Paul doing some data reporting and visualization and sometimes building interactives or helping the web team customize something for their content management system. She also teaches data viz and interactive journalism to undergrad students at her alma mater, the U of M's journalism program.
