This workshop is intended for people who have never built a static page using Middleman or people who it’s interested in applying it to their own website in an efficient way with a design perspective.
The whole workshop will be based in the instructor's website, with different exercises learning how to develop parts of a personal website or portfolio as a designer, as a programmer or as any position in tech.
You DO NOT NEED any prior coding experience, everything will be explained and you can go at your own pace. The instructor will also be there to help you with whatever you need.
- You need to bring a laptop, it doesn't matter if it's a Mac, Windows or Linux.
