Teaching Web Stuff - Paid Micro-Workshops

In the near future I will be running a handful of paid micro-workshops on web related topics. The idea is that each workshop will address one thing well. I hope this will be fun for myself and the participants.

Audience

The audience I'm aiming for is as follows:

Smart persons with limited time looking for guided learning. 

Each workshop will be concise, and there should be a low barrier of entry for the right participants. As a result, with very little exception, these will be online workshops.

Cost

$30 per person per micro-workshop.

Structure of a Micro-Workshop

Short. Thoroughly prepared. It should be possible to deliver a micro-workshop within 60 minutes, this includes a window of 20 minutes for questions and interaction. 

Topics

The topics are all web related and are I based on things that I have attained a reasonable of facility in. So far I've identified the following topics:

• Bash Scripting Fundamentals
• Plone Content Management
• Visual Design for Developers - helping developers use CSS to make stuff look good
• CSS Baby steps for designers
• An introduction to Cloud9 IDE

These are explained in more detail (http://tutorate.uservoice.com)

Schedule

All things being equal the first workshop will run on January 2, 2012

Other Thoughts

Some persons may be interested in additional guidance so I'm working on how I might be able to offer optional after workshop support.
