There will be short introductory sessions on each aspect of SVG covered, followed by hands-on sessions with delegates working on PCs. Attendees will receive copies of a short Primer on SVG in addition to a workbook for the practical sessions. Most, but not all, delegates will have sole use of a PC. A small number of delegates may be asked to share a PC with one other person. Because of the nature of this workshop, the number of attendees is STRICTLY LIMITED. We expect places to fill quickly - so early booking is STRONGLY ADVISED.
