Workshops
The Workshop Information link takes you to a detailed description for each workshop. There you will also find all workshop materials, including presenter notes, exercises and reference handouts.
If the workshop is still in development, one or more links may be dead. A workshop may be under revision as well. The status of any specific workshop is given on the workshop home page, along with date last revised.
To sign up for any workshop you must do so at the Training and Development web site. Once there you have to log in, so I can't provide a direct link for each workshop.

The sequence Web Basics 1 through 3, Web Advanced 1 through 3, Accessibility Basics, and Validator Tools together form the Core8. Starting in Spring 2008 the Core8 will be prerequisite for all other web-related workshops. A summary of the Core8 will help you understand what is covered.
Note: I offer no training in FrontPage, GoLive, Dreamweaver, Expressions, or any other WYSIWYG editor.
