HTML5/CSS3
Details
This Saturday session will run from 9am to 5pm on June 9th. There will be an hour break for lunch.
In this fast-paced class, we'll be building a single-page website (think onepagelove.com (http://www.onepagelove.com)) with all the new hotness: HTML5 for structure and CSS3 for sweet visual flourishes like animations, gradients, rounded corners, and drop shadows. I'll show you how easy it is to use web fonts for typography (down with Arial amiright?!). And, finally, we'll add the JavaScript necessary for smooth-scrolling navigation.
To get the most out of this class, you should have a working knowledge of basic HTML and CSS. You may have taken Intro 1 through Girl Develop It, or you have built a site or two for fun. The purpose of this class is to get you more comfortable with building simple sites with modern web best practices and shed some light on my development process, but you should have the basics down.
To help you gauge whether or not this class is a good fit given your current skill set, take this quiz (http://pixelpushstudio.com/gdi/jquizzy.htm). Anything better than 50% should be able to follow along in the class. A review will be provided before we start the new material. If you have additional questions, feel free to post them below.
