Join the DAUG on August 4 for "part two" of Geoff Stump's series of lessons on the basics of CSS/HTML web development. This month, Geoff, an interactive designer at Real Art Design Group, narrows his focus a bit and talks specifically about creating headers and navigation for websites. Even more specifically, he'll show how you can use the "sliding doors" technique to create graphic buttons that not only look great, but load quickly too.

This is a working demo, so please feel free to bring in your laptop to follow along. People of any skill level are welcome, but this lesson is geared toward CSS novices. To get a head start, you can download the demo site files. And be sure to check out the live demo site.

To make things interesting (and more educational), there will be a raffle for a FREE copy of CSS Cookbook by Christopher Schmitt, courtesy of DAUG sponsor, O'Reilly Media. There will also be other giveaways and some light snacks to help ease those hunger pangs.

Details:

• school of advertising art (1725 East David Road, Room 1)
