Joey Kilrain, Creative Director, Gigapixel Creative, Inc.

A little bit of code goes a long way. This hands-on workshop will take an existing design and build it from scratch, teaching students to troubleshoot from start to finish. Over the course of the series, students will learn to: 

  • Write HTML and CSS
  • Modify jQuery scripts
  • Incorporate web fonts
  • Build pixel-perfect layouts with Firebug 

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of HTML, Firefox browser with Firebug installed, a binary text editor (Notepad, TextEdit, Dreamweaver). New skills will be reinforced through homework assignments, which will be reviewed in class. 

Session I (7/6): Beginning Layouts

This session will open with a brief introduction to the project, and careful review of the layout to be coded. Together, the group will build the layout, working on overall structure (alignment, pictures, etc.). Q&A will follow.  

Session II (7/13): Web fonts and jQuery Plugins

Students will spend the first portion of this session working on the layout. Then, after a lesson on web fonts and the jQuery 'Coda Slider' plugin, the group will incorporate these features. Q&A will follow. 

Session III (7/20): Finalizing Layouts 

This session will focus on troubleshooting any remaining issues and finalizing the layout. 

Use the hashtag #gapracticalweb to send follow-up questions and continue the conversation.
