Upcoming Event: PSD to HTML Project Day from Girl Develop It Philadelphia

Girl Develop It is an international organization that exists to provide affordable and accessible programs to women who want to learn software and web development through mentorship and hands-on instruction. The Philadelphia chapter will be offering a PSD to HTML Project Day on Saturday, May 17, 2014 from 9:45 AM to 3:00 PM at the Impact Hub Philadelphia, 1227 North 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA. Cost is $65.00/per person.

Here is how they describe the workshop:

Do you want to become a front-end developer or freelancer? Have you taken an HTML/CSS class or dabbled with it on your own? It’s time to apply your skills by building a webpage from start to finish (or come in and get help with your site)!

The best way to combine all your HTML/CSS skills is by jumping in and doing it soup to nuts in a supported environment. Join us in a group setting and learn how to slice a design – i.e. create a site from a design file we will provide (or come in and get help with your own site). The main purpose of this class is to provide you with assisted work time focused around a common, simulated but realistic project to reinforce your skillsets. You will learn the process of breaking down a mockup, the best practices in getting started, and you will gain experience constructing the main elements of a webpage. Experienced TAs will be there to get you started and help you out along every step of the way.

Please note that we will not be spending much time on the Photoshop aspects of this process in this class, instead focusing on the problem-solving and strategy that goes into “reading” a design file and building a website from that file, while practicing our HTML and CSS skills.

If you want to become a front-end developer, you should attend this session. Come prepared with a laptop, snacks/drinks & determination!

Note: This is a working session, NOT a lecture. It is limited to 20 spots.
