Creative With Money

Thurs 5th September
L4RP.com/money/

Money is a mirror that takes whatever we project on it. We all have our own stories about what money is like, and these usually reflect our self-beliefs. In this half-day workshop, we’ll explore how to change our relationship with money and work with it more creatively. Taught by Charles Davies.

Crucial for founders, freelancers and money-users everywhere.

JavaScript from Scratch

Weds 18th September

Get started with the JavaScript programming language, to add interactivity to websites and create browser-based web apps. It’s very hands-on. We’ll learn the fundamentals of the language and the process of programming. In the afternoon, we’ll build our own interactive web app, including the use of Ajax to load data, HTML5 geo-location and JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Google Maps.

This is designed for those who use HTML and CSS, or possibly a different programming language, and who might have seen but never learned the fundamentals of JavaScript.
