Crash Course: Web Development Basics with HTML, CSS, and Wordpress // TECH 221

Chris Castiglione, Senior Web Developer

Wednesday, March 21st from 6:00 - 7:30 pm

In these six 90 minute sessions we’re diving head first into HTML, CSS, and Wordpress. We'll be learning HTML & CSS by focusing on learning a subset of the useful and practical parts so that we can make something (quick and) awesome.

We’ll tackle the barebones of how to quickly develop a web site, and get it installed as a custom theme on Wordpress!  Please bring a computer to the class as we will be doing live coding.
