Evening Web Development Class Added

We’ve added pure code versions of our web development courses! They cover the same material as our Dreamweaver Levels 1 and 2, but instead of relying on a WYSIWYG editor, all projects are hand-coded. Web Development Level 1 covers basic HTML & CSS and gets you building websites. Web Development Level 2 covers more advanced CSS selectors and more complex page layouts. First pure code classes start in July, day and evening!

Derick Carss Goes Responsive

Derick Carss recently attended the HTML5 & CSS3 class, as well as Mobile & Responsive Web Design. With those skills he immediately changed his portfolio site to be completely responsive! Check out his site here: http://derickcarss.com

In Derick’s own words:

I learned a huge amount and immediately wanted to apply my new skills on a live project so I rebuilt my portfolio site to be fully responsive. I have plans to develop the site further in the future but was amazed with how much I was able to accomplish in such a short space of time.”

Congratulations to Noble alumnus, Derick Carss!

Testimonial of the Fortnight

I really enjoyed this class. Cathline helped make this not only a great learning experience but a fun experience as well. Having little background in design, I was nervous going in, but she made everything seem so simple that I picked it up rather quickly! I’m looking forward to taking more classes with Noble Desktop!”
