Event Description: Cleveland Web Design and Development Meetup An overview of what we'll be covering for each week can be found under the heading "This Week's Class". The overview is taken right from the books we'll be using. The class overview can be found at the forum post about them. Classroom time will always be about 45 minutes of lecture, a 15 minute break, then 60 minutes hands on, team participation. You MUST RSVP in this event page and via a phone call (440.521.7214) so I know you are coming. Just ask for Aoirthoir (ur hower). Those that RSVP Yes and don't show will not be invited to future classes, because a no show bumps someone else and isn't fair to other students. (We understand an occasional no-show, but if at all possible as soon as you know you cannot make a class, change your RSVP to no.) Maybe RSVPs are disabled. Also there can be no jumping in the middle of a course. You need to attend these from the beginning. Don't worry though, we will be running these courses at different times, so if you miss this one, you can attend another. Reminder: The course is free, but I am asking for donations. Donations will help me cover the rent for the facility I am using, and other costs. A suggested donation range is between $5 to $20 per class. If you find the material, class time, help and suggestions you receive valuable, a donation is greatly appreciated. I will have a box available at each class, labeled donations, for those that are able and willing to donate. "This Week's Class" =================== This week we will be studying chapter 13 (not 14) of O'Reilly's Head first HTML with CSS & XHTML book. So be sure to bring your copy with you.

"This Week's Class" =================== This week we will be studying chapter 11 of O'Reilly's Head first HTML with CSS & XHTML book. So be sure to bring your copy with you. Advanced Web Construction Its time to get ready for heavy construction. In this chapter were going to roll out two new XHTML elements, called and . These are no simple two by fours; these are full blown steel beams. With and , youre going to build some serious supporting structures, and once youve got those structures in place, youre going to be able to style them all in new and powerful ways. Now, we couldnt help but notice that your CSS toolbelt is really starting to fill up, so its time to show you a few shortcuts that will make specifying all these properties a lot easier. And, weve also got some special guests in this chapter, the pseudo-classes, which are going to allow you to create some very interesting selectors. (But, if youre thinking that pseudo-classes would make a great name for your next band; too late, we beat you to it.) The topics we'll be discussing are (from the book): A close look at the elixirs HTML (page - 431) Let's explore how we can divide a page into logical sections (page - 433) Adding a border (page - 440) An over-the-border test drive (page - 440) Adding some real style to the elixirs section (page - 441) The game plan (page - 442) Working on the elixir width (page - 442) Adding the basic styles to the elixirs (page - 447) What we need is a way to select descendants (page - 453) Changing the color of the elixir headings (page - 455) Fixing the line height (page - 456) It's time to take a little shortcut... (page - 458) Adding s in three easy steps (page - 464) The element and its multiple personalities (page - 468) How can you style elements based on their state? (page - 469) Putting those pseudo-classes to work (page - 471) Isn't it about time we talk about the cascade? (page - 473) The cascade (page - 475) Welcome to the Whats my specificity game (page - 476) Putting it all together (page - 477) Exercise Solutions (page - 483) Please contact me if you have any questions.

The topics we'll be discussing are (from the book): Rules for replacement - regular expressions String functions are kind of lovable. But at the same time, theyre limited. Sure, they can tell the length of your string, truncate it, change certain characters to other certain characters. But sometimes you need to break free and tackle more complex text manipulations. This is where regular expressions can help. They can precisely modify strings based on a set of rules rather than a single criterion. Risky Jobs lets users submit resumes (page - 562) Decide what your data should look like (page - 566) Formulate a pattern for phone numbers (page - 569) Match patterns with regular expressions (page - 570) Build patterns using metacharacters (page - 572) Fine-tune patterns with character classes (page - 579) Check for patterns with preg_match() (page - 584) Standardize the phone number data (page - 591) Get rid of the unwanted characters (page - 592) Matching email addresses can be tricky (page - 596) Domain suffixes are everywhere (page - 598) Use PHP to check the domain (page - 599) Email validation: putting it all together (page - 600) Please contact me if you have any questions.

The topics we'll be discussing are (from the book): Interfacing to the world, syndication and web services Its a big world out there, and one that your web application cant afford to ignore. Perhaps more importantly, youd rather the world not ignore your web application. One excellent way to tune the world in to your web application is to make its data available for syndication, which means users can subscribe to your sites content instead of having to visit your web site directly to find new info. Not only that, your application can interface to other applications through web services and take advantage of other peoples data to provide a richer experience.

We will be adding our own twist, but having the book will definitely be helpful. Cheating at Layout - Positioning Part Deux This week's description is short and sweet. We're going to learn how to prototype a layout in a matter of minutes. We're going to learn how to rapidly change the layout without all of the headache typically associated with CSS Positioning. Our layouts are going to be easy, fast, cross browser compatible and will require only a tiny amount of extra code in our HTML. And no, we WONT be using Tables to do this. Just what will we be doing then? You will have to enroll in the course and come to this class to find out. Please contact me if you have any questions.

"This Week's Class" =================== This week we will be studying the chapter 11 of O'Reilly's Head first PHP & MySQL book. So be sure to bring your copy with you. The topics we'll be discussing are (from the book): Drawing dynamic graphics - visualizing your data Sure, we all know the power of a good query and a bunch of juicy results. But query results dont always speak for themselves. Sometimes its helpful to cast data in a different light, a more visual light. PHP makes it possible to provide a graphical representation of database data: pie charts, bar charts, Venn diagrams, Rorschach art, you name it. Anything to help users get a grip on the data flowing through your application is game. But not all worthwhile graphics in PHP applications originate in your database.

Event Description: Cleveland Web Design and Development Meetup NOTE: If you wish to discuss the classes please see the forum post at: http://www.meetup.com/Cleveland-Web-Design-and-Development-Meetup/messages/boards/thread/9532580 . This post is simply for announcements by me about the course. Thanks Kindly. The rest of the posts are an overview of what we'll be covering in the HTML/CSS course by class. An overview of what we'll be covering for each week can be found under the heading "This Week's Class". The overview is taken right from the books we'll be using. The class overview can be found at the forum post about them. Classroom time will always be about 45 minutes of lecture, a 15 minute break, then 60 minutes hands on, team participation. You MUST RSVP in this event page and via a phone call (440.521.7214) so I know you are coming. Just ask for Aoirthoir (ur hower). Those that RSVP Yes and don't show will not be invited to future classes, because a no show bumps someone else and isn't fair to other students. (We understand an occasional no-show, but if at all possible as soon as you know you cannot make a class, change your RSVP to no.) Maybe RSVPs are disabled. Also there can be no jumping in the middle of a course. You need to attend these from the beginning. Don't worry though, we will be running these courses at different times, so if you miss this one, you can attend another. Reminder: The course is free, but I am asking for donations. Donations will help me cover the rent for the facility I am using, and other costs. A suggested donation range is between $15 to $30 per class. If you find the material, class time, help and suggestions you receive valuable, a donation is greatly appreciated. I will have a box available at each class, labeled donations, for those that are able and willing to donate. "This Week's Class" =================== This week we will be studying the chapter i (yes lowercase i, it's an appendix...:D ) of O'Reilly's Head first PHP & MySQL book. So be sure to bring your copy with you. The topics we'll be discussing are (from the book): The Top Ten Topics (we didn't cover) Even after all that, theres a bit more. There are just a few more things we think you need to know. We wouldnt feel right about ignoring them, even though they only need a brief mention. So before you put the book down, take a read through these short but important PHP and MySQL tidbits. Besides, once youre done here, all thats left are a couple short appendices... and the index... and maybe some ads... and then youre really done. We promise! #1. Retrofit this book for PHP4 and mysql functions (page - 714) #2. User permissions in MySQL (page - 716) #3. Error reporting for MySQL (page - 718) #4. Exception handling PHP errors (page - 719) #5. Object-oriented PHP (page - 721) #6. Securing your PHP application (page - 723) #7. Protect your app from cross-site scripting (page - 725) #8. Operator precedence (page - 727) #9.
