Starts Monday, 11 October: Introduction to SVG Course

As part of the Open Media Web project, co-funded by the European Union, the new W3C Course: Introduction to SVG begins on Monday, 11 October. The course is being lead by SVG IG member and author of an SVG Primer, David Dailey of Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania with support from W3C Team member Phil Archer who leads the successful Mobile Web Best Practices course. The aim of this activity is to help people already familiar with core Web technologies, like HTML and XML, to extend their knowledge. Scalable Vector Graphics is not new, but it is rapidly gaining adherents and deployment across the world as developers aim to make content available on different sized screens without any loss of image quality. All modern browsers have at least some support for SVG and now really is the time to get to grips with this powerful and exciting technology. Registration will remain open for a while after the course starts but it's best to be there at the start when fellow participants are discussing the current material and receiving feedback from David Dailey on the assignments. For full details of the course and how to register, please see the course description. Learn more about SVG.
