[CALUG] Mid level PHP, CSS, MySql Web Developer position available in Towson, MD

[Jim Sansing]

Hey would one of you guys do a CALUG presentation on modern web 
programming.  While I understand what CSS is, I have not had time to 
learn it.  So I would find a presentation on CSS by itself to be 
interesting.  I would also be interested in how to use a framework like 
Drupal.  For that matter, I could see this being a series of 
presentations on different aspects of web site design, with 
presentations by people who specialize in certain areas (yes Eldon, I'm 
looking at you ;-).

Later . . .   Jim
