Welcome to the Github and Website Workshop — an afternoon session designed to introduce students to Github, git, HTML, and CSS, with the goal of creating a simple website hosted on Github.

This next offering of this workshop will be on Saturday March 7th, 2015 at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. This pages includes links to the curriculum we used so thats other can build on and learn from our curriculum.

Workshop Format
The workshop will be interactive and will involve you working on your own and on your own laptop. Everybody attending should bring a laptop and a power cord so that they don't run out of battery.
