  • Ballard Spahr 1735 Market Street #51 Philadelphia, PA, 19103 United States (map)

Are you a woman of color curious to learn what coding is all about? Join Philly Tech Sistas for Wine & Code Fridays where participants are provided with coding challenges that they need to solve while sipping on a nice glass of wine. If you’re looking to learn a new skill alongside like-minded people in a fun, inclusive environment, this workshop is for you!

HTML and CSS are the backbone of all websites, and knowledge of them is a necessity if you are interested in things like web development, creating marketing emails, or even blogging! The web without HTML and CSS would be a world without colorful, pretty websites, not to mention the web applications we all use daily. It’s easy to learn and was designed so that everyone - even non-tech people can do it.

Our Intro to HTML & CSS workshop is designed to be a hands-on experience in a fun, social, laid-back environment. During the session, you'll get to try building out a web page with HTML and CSS on your own with the help of our amazing instructor and mentors! In doing so, you will learn the following:

  • Basic techniques and concepts that are translatable to other programming languages

  • How to create a website with images and a CSS-defined layout

  • What resources are available if you’d like to continue learning at home (and we think you will!)
