DOM Scripting and Ajax Workshop with Christian Heilmann
Christian Heilmann's workshop was a blast. We were treated to robust real-word scripts, designed for accessibility and easy maintenance, for use on heavily-accessed websites like Yahoo!. All of this mixed with his quirky humour ("Java is to JavaScript is like car is to carpet!") which kept things lively.
While the hands-on coding exercises were tough for the less-experienced, the experienced ones were all peering with full concentration deep into their laptop screens, adding a JavaScript event handler here or creating a text node there.
The 2 days blew by in a flash, leaving us with a solid foundation to go further into solid DOM scripting and Ajax.
Thanks to Chris who came all the way over from the UK and has to rush over to Scotland to do a presentation (in kilts), and thanks to all who attended. Now, let's see better websites backed up with better scripts!
CSS Workshop with Russ Weakley
Russ Weakley's workshop turned out great. Not so much because of the lush, resort-like atmosphere of the place (it certainly helped), but because there was just so much to learn from Russ. His self-deprecating style of humour and his excellent analogies certainly made things even more interesting and enjoyable, despite the technical nature of the content.
All those we spoke to left the workshop very happy. Sure, a few were a little stressed, suddenly realising how much more there was to the world of CSS, but that is probably a good kind of stress.
A big "thank you" to Russ for agreeing to come over to Singapore do this workshop, and to everyone for your support and participation.
We hope that this workshop will help raise the level of web design and CSS competency in Singapore.
