[Free Workshop] Learn HTML and CSS at Prime Digital Academy

Join Prime Digital Academy’s Instructors as they discuss HTML and CSS, the building blocks for what is seen on the Web. In this course, we will introduce the main concepts of the Web, how it is seen, and then use that knowledge to build our first website(s). Our target attendees for this event, are people who are curious about creating content for the internet, but are not really sure where to get started. Additionally, know we get people from all types of background attending the event. We thrive when we have a room full of people from diverse backgrounds and skill sets, so know you are welcome here.

Leaving our session, you will:
-Have a fundamental understanding of how the web serves content for users to view
-Be able to assemble HTML code, so that your website has content
-Give your website some flair through Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which gives web content strong visual presence
-Learn about version control and hosting, so that your work is not only remotely saved and stored, but also viewable from any computer connected to the internet

Preparation:

-Bring a laptop that is capable of connecting to the Internet via WiFi
