Introduction
The notion that there are such folk as “digital natives” strikes us as kind of hollow, unless and until the “native” has learned the language of digital stuff: coding.
Coding is for many artists a bridge too far, yet we’d scoff at a printmaker who did not know enough chemistry to etch an intaglio plate. Embracing this 21st Century version of basic literacy is important, but not more important than using it to create meaningful work.
In this project, we’ll graduate from newbie to ninja in the realm of HTML5/CSS3/JS website creation.
