Workshop October 5th at IndyHall: Making Things Move with CSS and JavaScript
I wanted to make all our members aware of an upcoming one day workshop on October 5th,
at
IndyHall. The workshop will be lead by our friend
Val Head, and is titled: "
Making Things Move with CSS and JavaScript" - A workshop on making the most of your standards-based transitions, animations and interactions. It will be from 9:30am to 4:30pm - and space is limited! Tickets went on sale today for the 10 spots available - if you are interested in this topic, Val is a great instructor with plenty of real world practical experience with her clients, past workshops and conferences she has organized and run in Pittsburgh - don't miss this opportunity.
Here is an excerpt about the workshop from Val's site:
"It seems like there are a million ways to make things move on the web these days, which makes the why and how behind your animations even more important! In this workshop we’ll look at how to get the most out of your transitions and animations with CSS. Then we’ll add JavaScript into the mix for even more powerful options.
Get a jumpstart on current standards in animating and adding motion on the web as well as a solid foundation for the design thinking behind them! We’ll get our hands dirty with some code (CSS and JavaScript) and some solid examples for you to take home. We’ll also spend time on the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind our animation decisions and discuss what works and what doesn’t."
