Coding & Cocktails: The Glass | HTML and Front-End Architecture

Join us for our monthly coding series, Coding & Cocktails. Women are invited to attend sessions to get an introduction to website building in a fun, laid-back atmosphere.

HTML & Front-End Fun: Build the Web from Scratch (No Experience Needed!)

Ever wonder what makes a website tick? Spoiler alert: it’s not magic—it’s HTML! Think of HTML as the skeleton of a website, giving structure to everything you see online. Pair that with front-end architecture (a fancy way of saying “organized code and files”), and you’ve got the solid bones of a great site. Or, if we’re talking cocktails, it’s the glass that holds all the good stuff together. 🍸

This event is the kickoff to our 5-part series, the Signature Flight, where you’ll learn how to craft your very own portfolio website from the ground up. Each session will build on the last, giving you the tools and confidence to create something you’ll be proud to show off.

Join us for a fun, hands-on intro to the world of web building! You’ll learn what HTML tags and elements are, how to structure your front-end projects, and why it all matters. Then, you’ll get to roll up your sleeves and start building your own web page—with plenty of help from our amazing mentors.

Zero coding experience? Perfect. We’ve got tons of guidance and good vibes waiting for you. Come curious, leave empowered (and maybe a little obsessed with HTML).

Already have some coding chops? We’ve got you covered too—with an advanced worksheet option to help you level up.

Let’s build something awesome—together. See you there!
