How to Build a Website: HTML & CSS for Beginners

NOTE: This is a two day course, Saturday and Sunday. You are paying to attend both days.

Session 1: Saturday January 11th, 2014 1-5pm. We will go through setting up your text editor, how websites work, and an introduction to HTML and CSS.

Session 2: Sunday January 12th, 2014 1-5pm. Now that we've mastered the basics of HTML and CSS we will move on to the formatting and layout of a website.
