Dear Colleague
Netskills will be running the following workshops at Nottingham University:
1. Web Pages from Scratch, 12th September
-----------------------------------------------------
Publishing web pages is now easier than ever. However, some degree of technical knowledge and skill is vital in order to create high-quality, standards-compliant online content. This practical workshop explains how web publishing works and teaches the fundamental skills you will need to create web pages using the current XHTML standard - along with an introduction to web page style and design.
2. CSS: A Complete Web Style Toolkit, 13th September
-----------------------------------------------------
This workshop and offers a complete, practical guide to the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to deliver professional-looking, accessible and cost-effective web content. If you are familiar with the basics of HTML and are now looking to enhance the presentation of your web pages (or perhaps unravel the work of a previous developer!) you will leave equipped with a practical understanding of the most useful tools that CSS puts at your disposal.
3. Accessibility, Usability and Your Web Site, 14th September
-----------------------------------------------------
Understanding the different ways that people interact the web is the key to being able to provide a better online experience for everyone - but there is still a tendency for developers to focus on solutions for users with visual impairment. This workshop will introduce a more holistic approach to making accessible, usable web content and key evaluation techniques that you can use on your own (and other people's) web sites.
4. Database Design and SQL, 19th September
-----------------------------------------------------
The most important aspect of database-driven web publishing is the database itself. Netskills can help you develop the skills to be able to produce an efficient, scalable and optimised SQL database for use with your web solutions. This NEW practical workshop will demonstrate how to develop an initial database design and turn it into a cost-effective, working solution.
5. Databases on the Web, 20th September
-----------------------------------------------------
Harnessing these techniques for web/database integration can improve the management, maintenance and scalability of your web sites. This practical workshop teaches you the skills needed to provide web access to existing databases - enabling you to start developing web sites using database-managed content with confidence.
6. Programming for Web Developers, 21st September
-----------------------------------------------------
Now you can finally get to grips with the fundamentals of web programming and add exciting, dynamic functionality to your web site. Having picked up the skills required to present web content using HTML and CSS, many developers find the move towards incorporating programming technologies within their web sites more challenging. This new workshop will explain the core web programming concepts and languages that you will need - to help you make that move with confidence.
