After several years running, the CSS Workshop is going to end and be folded into the Web Design SIG. At our recent meetings, we have been moving back and forth from pure CSS topics to more general web design, so it makes sense now to bring the subject matter under one group. Web Design will meet at 9-10, the former CSS hour.
The Web Design SIG has a site at webdes.pacsnet.org. Follow the group's news there starting with the September meeting.
In place of Web Design in the afternoon, we have a new SIG devoted to WordPress, the amazing blogging and content management system. This SIG will give members an opportunity to start from the beginning and move through the steps of using this platform.
Finally, the Javascript SIG, which was so successful, has come to its end. In its place will be the revived HTML SIG at 11-12. This group will concentrate on the foundations of a website. If you have attended the CSS Workshop and maybe not have quite grasped the concepts, this SIG will provide a better understanding of the underlying structure of a webpage and give you a better idea of how pages are then styled.
PHP and Social Media will continue at the same times as last year.
All of the SIG's have individual websites which can be accessed at http://pacsnet.org/groups.php.
