HTML/CSS 102: Applying Your New Skills

Have you learned the basics of HTML and CSS but want to know more about how it's used as part of the every day work of most developers? In this class, we will dive into deeper applications of the concepts learned in our Intro to HTML/CSS class, breaking them down into smaller chunks so that you can apply what you have learned when applying to jobs, working on freelance projects, and creating your own sites. We will take a look at best practices and get experience in what additional magic your webpages can do with just HTML and CSS.

PREREQUISITES AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

This class assumes you've taken our Intro to HTML/CSS class or have the equivalent knowledge. You should also plan to bring a laptop.

ABOUT THE TEACHER

Ivana Veliskova is a front-end engineer at Guru where she uses Javascript to build out their product. She graduated from Boston University with a BA in International Relations and minor in Computer Engineering, but when she realized that world peace was better suited as a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor, she became involved with GDI -- first as a student, and now as a teacher. In her free time, you can find Ivana dancing and baking (sometimes, at the same time) or enjoying a table top game (Settlers of Catan, anyone?). Ivana is an official Pokemon Master, a Doctor Who/BBC fanatic, and can dish out obscure quotes and references like ninja stars. You can find this hoper of far-flung hopes and dreamer of improbable dreams on twitter @ivanaveliskova
