CSS Based Web Design, Part 1 of 2 - Workshop

Description:
Time: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Cost: $120 for BDA members, $145 for non-members

THIS IS A TWO-EVENING WORKSHOP! The first session is on Monday and the second session is on Wednesday of the same week. The cost covers both days.

Tired of tables torturing your content? Fed up with editing your entire site to make small design changes? Drowning in 'code soup'? Come to this two-part workshop from Boulder Digital Arts to hear how CSS can separate look from content and make your site code smaller and more nimble.

We'll start with a quick review of the bones of HTML and how to apply meaty styles to them via internal and external stylesheets as well as inline styles. You'll see a layout built from scratch, then rebranded by simply changing the stylesheet. We'll also compare a table-based approach to a CSS-based approach - why each has its place. We'll even show you why tabular data is appropriate in places as well as how to make the table code cleaner and easier to deal with.

We'll cover some of the pros and cons of CSS, go over Javascript tricks to make your page do things you never knew it could and we'll also touch on making your entire site "printer friendly" by using a print style sheet. By the end of the second night, you'll be ready to build your first CSS-based site.
