Workshops

Covering a broad range of topics and abilities E-NOISE can provide assistance with various kinds of web projects and technologies. We are developing a series of workshops run by E-NOISE staff who have extensive experience in web application technology as well as lecturing at universities in London, UK. Our fields of expertise are PHP, JavaScript, HTML5, WordPress and website optimisation.

Open workshops

We organise and host workshops on topics ranging from HTML5 or WordPress for developers to advanced JavaScript. These workshops will be announced on our website.

One-on-one tutorials and groups

We offer a set of structured workshops for businesses and individuals interested in learning more about web technologies covering all abilities ranging from absolute beginner to professional web designers and developers. We can help you learn and master the techniques behind successfully designing, building and maintaining your websites or web applications.

We are also very excited about many new emerging web technologies (HTML5, new uses of JavaScript, ...) and we are happy to help you and your team familiarise with whats new, understand its value and start making use of it in the 'real world'.

We can either accommodate you in our East London office or run the workshops in your space. We are happy to travel pretty much anywhere provided that there would be an extra cost to cover travel and accommodation.

If you have any specific workshops you are after please get in touch and we can see what we can arrange. Please contact info@e-noise.com

Introduction to WordPress

With difficulty levels ranging from introducing the absolute beginner to brushing up the skills of an advanced user E-NOISE's WordPress workshops intend to demystify our favourite CMS. They provide guidance with issues ranging from setting up and running your first WordPress site, to recommended plugins, content creation and best practice. We also cater for the advanced user (which requires a knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP) as we look into creating custom themes and plugins.

HTML5 and CSS3 (an introduction)

Explaining what HTML5 and CSS3 are and why they have such a profound impact on the way we think of the World Wide Web. The workshop covers the basic concepts that make up "the web", look at how it first came into being and how it has evolved into becoming something it never intended to be. This inevitably leads to the need for a new description of how the web "actually" works and how it "should" work. HTML5 and CSS3 attempt to do exactly that.
