Web Development 101

Course organiser: Pippa Buchanan
About the Course Organiser: 

I taught myself web development in between learning computer science, working as a video games developer and travelling the world. Until recently I've been teaching web development at a design college in Berlin, Germany and I currently work as a coordinator for the Mozilla School of Webcraft on P2PU.org.

I originally come from Australia, love working with people and design technologies and am fascinated by the open web. I believe that education is a fundamental human right and that learning should be an accessible and flexible experience that continues throughout your life.

Web Development 101: Learning open and standards based development for the web. #p2pu #webcraft #drumbeat

Summary

This course will cover the core principles of developing standards compliant web pages. You'll learn how to define your page structure and content in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and how to add style to your page using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

Questions we'll cover:

How is a webpage constructed?
What are web standards?
What are the basic tools required to build a simple web site?
How can I fix mistakes in my website code?
How do I make my site visible on the web?

Participants will create simple websites (6-8 pages) containing text, images and hypertext links and can use this as a foundation for more advanced skills they can continue to develop in the School of Webcraft. Course participants will learn about the importance of open web standards, will test their code on different browsers and will validate their code to guarantee it conforms to web standards. Participants will also document techniques and code using a wiki - this will be used as a learning resource for future courses.

Please Note: only open web technologies will discussed during this course - proprietary formats such as Flash are not taught in the School of Webcraft.

The initial meeting for the group will take place on the video channel Tokbox (http://www.tokbox.com) and communication will take place via mailing list and on a wiki. Participants will be able to communicate with the course organiser via Skype - the use of Skype between participants is also encouraged.

Hi Pippa

I would love to join this course, please do invite me. I appreciate your fundamental ideology about education, i love open source software, and am an ambassador for free and open source software in Tanzania. One of my hobby is to learn, new stuff, gain technical know how and the required skills and impart the same to others.
Thanks
