Want to learn HTML?
In your pajamas?
Yeah. That’s what we thought… : )
Wrangling HTML
Tuesdays || July 24 & 31 || 6:30-8:30pm || Kendall Square
Join us for our next Cambridge course! This two-class series gives you a solid foundation in website building. First, we get you set up with the (free) software you’ll need. Then we dig right into HTML, learning about tags and putting together pages. With that behind us, we talk about some of the finer points of HTML and cover the nuts and bolts of getting your work online. By the way, this course is the perfect precursor to our CSS: Styles & Layouts class, which begins August 2nd.

Wireframing in App Development: Hacking the Limits of Working Memory
Our latest blog post, in which we explain the wireframing process we’re using in the development of Web Start Women Courses and the psychology behind why it’s so helpful.
My, how times have changed
This infographic by KISSmetrics captures key elements of web design from the early 1990s to the present. It provides an interesting retrospective on when particular languages and techniques came into being, particularly for those of us who have only recently tuned into the field.
Wanted: A few nerdy women
As we get the ball rolling in Boston and continue to grow in Philadelphia, we’re looking for instructors who love geeking out on web development as much as we do.
If you have the knowledge and the confidence to lead a group of smart, determined women on any of the following topics, we should talk!
- HTML / CSS
- JavaScript / jQuery
- PHP / MySQL
- Ajax
- Photoshop
- Git
- WordPress
- Drupal
- Graphic Design
- Business (as it pertains to the web, ‘course :-)
Many of the courses already have curriculum created, so your job is just to come in and teach it. For an example of our material, check out the notes from our first class in the HTML/CSS series. Other topics have not been run yet, and you’ll have the opportunity to help us develop that material (compensation will be higher).
Class commitments are usually a couple hours, one night a week or occasionally a half an afternoon on a weekend.
If this sounds like fun to you, send us some information about yourself and your background to instructors@webstartwomen.com.
And, if you don’t fit the description above, but you know a woman who does, please let her know! The more talented, awesome instructors we can find, the more classes we can run, and the quicker more women can start coding their ideas into reality. :-)
