The Glass | Front-end Architecture & HTML

You MUST register on Eventbrite to attend: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/coding-cocktails-the-glass-front-end-architecture-html-tickets-85367579729?aff=meetup

Join us for our monthly coding series, Coding & Cocktails. Women are invited to attend sessions to get an introduction to website building in a fun, laid-back atmosphere.

HTML is the foundation of the web. It provides structure for web pages and helps you to build the page content. Front-end architecture is the organization of code and project files. The combination of these two concepts provides the structure and the bones of a website. Or if you're creating a cocktail, it's the glass that holds your cocktail together.

Join us to learn about what tags and elements are, how to structure your front-end architecture and why all of this matters. You'll also get to try building out a web page with HTML on your own, with support from our fantastic mentors!

There will be lots of guidance and support for those with little to no coding experience so come join the fun!

- No coding experience necessary (we mean that!)
- Wifi-enabled laptop is required (don't have one? Borrow one of ours)
- Trans and non-binary inclusive
