This is a workshop developed with an internship mindset: participants will gain professional web development experience in Drupal, PHP, CSS, and HTML, helping to improve EXCO’s website and general technological efficiency as an organization. Participants will learn about open source software, version control, collaboration methodologies, UNIX, and improve their skill in web technologies and design.

PREREQUISITES: Participants without prior, solid HTML and CSS knowledge should concurrently enroll in Chris Mason’s Introduction to HTML class. Failing that, participants should come with extreme motivation and willingness to do catch-up work and studies at home. Graphic design knowledge may come in handy but is not a prerequisite. The course website will be at www.flossclass.com.

As time permits we will schedule “hackathons” to work on projects together in a group, and otherwise participants are encouraged to volunteer time outside of class to work on tasks and projects.
