At Empax, we’re all about knowledge swapping and best practice sharing. I guess it’s the nonprofit in us, but we just can’t help wanting to open-source all we do, and help provide access to information to as many people as we can. You all know about our free in house workshops, and now our Senior Art Director, Ehud Tal, is taking the free-learning on the road.
Building a Website: In (3) Parts is a class Ehud will be teaching at the Public School in Brooklyn this coming Sunday, March 28. There are two things that are extremely cool about this
- Ehud rocks, and his presentation will not disappoint. Aside from being a very talented and well-versed designer and web developer, Ehud has a knack for transferring his knowledge. His practical approach to teaching ensures an audience that walks away with a true understanding of the content he’s presented.
- The Public School is an exciting and inspiring venture that is very new to Brooklyn. Originating in Los Angeles (it’s OK, we won’t hold it against them) this initiative operates as a free-form, self-organizing educational program for which the curriculum is proposed by the general public. Proposals for classes are open to anyone, and people who feel they have a particular knack with a subject can volunteer to teach the subject.
In this first class, Ehud will introduce the hardware of a webpage, explain the deal with HTML, and talk about how to plan a page. The second class in the series belongs to someone else (but, hopefully taking Ehud’s lead, will still be good.) The third and final installation is Ehud’s again, and will offer participants a tour of Adobe Dreamweaver and Wordpress, acquainting them with the lay-of-the-land and a few practical examples of how to start building.
So, if you’re interested in learning about building a website, or you like supporting local, progressive initiatives, we suggest you attend on Sunday. We guarantee there will be something useful – if not entertaining – about the class, and it’s a chance to be in the presence of an Empaxain, so who could resist?
