This is for a Workshop in the category for a Beginner audience.
Mystified by the foundations of web development? Recognize the terms, but aren’t sure how all the pieces fit together? Don’t have a clue about what happens when you hit the return key in your browser?
Let’s go into the belly of the beast and come out victorious. We will deconstruct and re-assemble a web page in order to better examine the elements, investigate the relationships between them, and then analyze our finished working result.
How does your submission contribute to the diversity of the conference?
I am a female professor teaching web design and development, graphic design and visual communications to journalism students. My belief is that we should all have a base understanding of how web technologies work, even if we do not become experts in the topic ourselves. It’s not exactly diversity, but bringing journalists, women, and anyone who thought they just could never be technical up to a new level of knowledge helps diversify our field. Plus, this is a hands-on technical workshop, and I think those are simply always useful because it's fun to come to a conference and feel you not only learned something new, but learned something new you can do.
