Is this the right class/environment for me?
This class is unlike any other you've attended. It's not dry, it's not boring. Our trainers are irreverent and do their best to make your time in the classroom not only educational, but entertaining. If you're looking for instructors in three-piece suits, or tweed blazers with suede elbow patches, this isn't the right class for you. We have contests with giveaways, riddles, and other fun diversions to help keep you energized throughout the day.
Plan to arrive with a lot of questions and an open mind; our daily round table discussions are sure to get your blood flowing!

Prerequisites
A basic understanding of HTML concepts and terminology, such as understanding the difference between a <span> and a <div>, is highly recommended. Additionally, this class is for designers, so we will assume that you have a basic understanding of other design concepts and terminology, such as CSS, "slicing" images for use in a web page, etc.
If you arrive without this knowledge, the class will be a bit tougher, but we won't allow anyone to get left behind!

Students are required to bring a computer to the class. The student's computer must also have the following applications installed:
- Windows Server 2003 SP1 or higher, with MOSS 2007 Enterprise or Standard installed (this can be in a virtual machine)
