Train the Trainer Swag Prep
Ooh, yummy stuff for the Train the Trainer Swag bag courtesy Microsoft, Peachpit Press, O’Reilly Publishing, and Lynda.Com.
Juicy stuff includes:
- One copy CSS Cookbook by Christopher Schmitt
- One copy Transcending CSS by Andy Clarke, edited and with a foreword by me, and an introduction by Dave Shea
- One copy Expression Web software
- An IE7 water bottle (perfect for warm sunny Tucson weather)
- One copy of CSS for Designers from Lynda.Com
Swag is set, shopping’s been done, the refreshments for this evening’s opening mixer are chillin’ and short of some general cleaning, the first official Train the Trainer event is about to kick off!

Nice swag! Now I’m really gutted I can’t make it out Tuscon for one of your sessions.
Hope it all goes well this weekend. Have fun.

Good luck Mol. I’ll see you in a week and a half!

Good luck with everything, Molly. While I can’t be there (not that I need to *wink* *wink*) I do hope everything goes off splendidly without a hitch.

That’s some pretty damn good swag right there. I have no doubt the training will go well, but good luck all the same

Cool!
Hey, with that copy of ‘Expression Web’ - does that represent an Official Endorsement of the product? (Just wondering)

What a Swag fest indeed! I trade all that swag for Molly’s autograph on my copy of her HTML Secrets book! I’m using Expressions Web right now and really want version 2.0 to come out and fix some of the annoyances with the 1.0 release. BUt, annoyances and all it has happily replaced my copy of FrontPage as my default HTML Editor…
Hey Molly, sort of still on topic with the thread, I’ve got a question. I work on a college campus in the Midwest, and other than myself there really isn’t anyone else promoting web standards and CSS etc. I was wondering if you had any training materials I might be able to glom on (read make liberal use of) as I endeavor to educate my fellow academics in the how’s and why’s of web standars.
Also any advice you have as best ways to approach things would be more than welcome.

What a great opening night party and first day session! I am so honored to be able to participate in this wonderful event which should inspire many more similar ones in the future by others.

think, there is no point for ignoring standards. And each of real professional would not ignore the basic requirements for doing a good job.
Molly, thanks for discussion of the problem at issue
Using standards help us in every day, by limiting the number of “adjustments” made for each and every browser. You can not do everything right, but there is a good point in trying doing some stuff.
thanks to you, Molly, and others who made this info available everywhere on the web - this help that to be part of the reason for problem can be solved.

Have been mainly offline for the past couple of days, so only just spotted this post. Hope your “Train the Trainer” weekend is going well so far
It’s a really great thing you’re doing, best of luck for now and the future with it!

Molly have at good time at the workshop. I’m wondering what you might recommend bookwise for someone just starting out learning CSS. Limited budget so maybe just one book to start.
