Web Design Course at Resala

I was delighted today to receive a phone call from Islam who works at the Masr El Gedida branch of Resala. I had previously volunteered to deliver a mini-course in HTML there. He asked me to start a fresh web design course. I really missed Resala having not been there for a couple of weeks. I agreed to deliver the course.

My plan is to start with the basics of HTML, give a little CSS then move on to Dreamweaver. I plan to make the course light and simple. I want it to act as an introduction and to pave the way for a correct start in web design.

The course will start tomorrow Friday 20th of January 2007, God willing. It will be from 1 PM to 3 PM every Friday at the Masr El Gedida branch of Resala. The course is free to attend.

Excellent Training Concepts

I really lift my metaphorical hat in praise for these excellent training concepts referred to at the Moodle web site. Because I love delivering IT training and had been doing so on a professional basis and now on a volunteering basis, I highly appreciate those concepts mentioned at the Moodle site. I know that those concepts are really true and are the core of what spells out the difference between and good and a bad training course.

HTML + CSS Training at Resala

I'm currently delivering a brief mini-course at Resala Masr El Gedida introducing HTML over 4 sessions of 1.5 hours each. That training starts at 10:00 AM every Friday. I've already delivered the first session.

I'll also, God willing, be touching upon CSS so that new comers to web development/web design would make neat web sites from the start without suffering from using the deprecated font tag or struggling with the table tag to define page layout.

This mini-course at Resala is totally free of charge is is being delivered in the small 8-computers lab at the Masr El Gedida branch of Resala.

I really enjoyed delivering the first session a lot. I'm thinking of volunteering to deliver a brief introductory course about Ruby on Rails at Resala also after I finish the current one God willing. A prerequisite for attending such a course would have to be at least some knowledge of web development in either PHP or ASP in addition to awareness of object oriented programming concepts.

You may call Ahmed Momtaz or Islam who are responsible for the computer lab at Resala Masr El Gedida via one of the following phone numbers: 6207801 / 6207802 / 6207803 / 6207804 /6207805 / 6207806.

You can ask Ahmed or Islam about the time the course is starting or about the availability of other free courses delivered by other volunteers.

If you are expert in some IT field and you have a talent in training, perhaps you may like to volunteer and deliver some course at Resala. You may call 19450 using a regular phone line to be routed to the Resala branch nearest to you.
