Seminar date/time: October 12, 1999, 6:00-7:00 p.m.
Location: 615 Aderhold


Workshop Description

Drumbeat 2000 is a WYSIWYG web development tool for creating dynamic web pages that offer database connectivity. However, often users in the IT Studio have found that they initially had a difficult time getting started using Drumbeat. The purpose of this workshop is to provide just such a beginning. We will explore components of the Drumbeat interface, wizards, and other tools such as drag and drop JavaScript contracts which will allow you to start off running in your pursuit of a professional-quality web page.

This workshop will be conducted by BethanyWhite, Bryan McLucas and Michael Gardner.
