Hello everyone and welcome to this workshop!
I'll be leading many of the workshop sessions and hopefully taking you on a journey that will see you setting up your own online server, installing email and web services, building a web site with pages generated by your code using content from a server database that you set up, and learning more about HTML5, JavaScript and CSS as you enhance your site.
As well as transferring knowledge to you about web related topics, we will also be encouraging you to recognise good practice in areas such as document preparation, planning as a group, developing goals and objectives, presenting your learning and achievements to others.
You will all have an opportunity to demonstrate new things you have learnt to the whole workshop as we near the end of the second week.
Many of you may already have some knowledge about topics we are covering but I'm confident you will find more of interest! However if you don't know anything about what we're talking about then don't panic. We will take our time and there is plenty of scope in our programme for you to focus on those topics of most interest to you.
I hope you thoroughly enjoy the workshop, find your achievements very satisfying and that it all proves helpful in your work in the future—even if you are exhausted at the end of all the hard work!
George

To introduce myself... I'm the workshop co-ordinator over the two weeks so if there's anything that's causing you concern just let me know. I also will be taking some of the sessions during the second week.
We would like you to use this blog to provide feedback on any aspect of the workshop, the facilities and any of the topics covered.
We'll be adding at least one new blog post a day for you to add comments, including any questions.
I will be encouraging you to use the hashtag #jamboworkshop when tweeting with Twitter.
