Dear Colleague
As part of their regional workshop programme, Netskills will be running the following workshops at the University of Leeds in November:
1. Accessibility, Usability & Your Web Site, 20th November
-----------------------------------------------------
The modern world now relies heavily on the web to deliver services and information directly to users, wherever they are and whoever they may be. The addition of legislation to ensure everyone can access and use important web content means that developers must have the skills to balance basic access to their web site with the ability for everyone to engage with it in a meaningful way.
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.
2. Programming for Web Developers, 21st November
-----------------------------------------------------
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!
3. PHP: Primed & Ready, 22nd November
-----------------------------------------------------
Get to grips with the fundamentals of PHP, perhaps the most popular server scripting language in use today. PHP allows web developers to create fast, dynamic web applications that can interact with HTML forms, databases, XML documents, mail servers and much more. This new workshop will guide you through the main features of the PHP environment and enable you to start building your own dynamic web applications.
