Pongos will provide students that select the Classroom ticket option with a seat in our College Park training center, to include use of a 13" MacBook Pro with the necessary software and files. You may bring your own wireless-enabled laptop if you wish, provided it has all of the necessary software installed before class begins. If you choose the Online ticket option, we will send you a link to the web conference, and you must have the appropriate software installed on your computer before class begins if you wish to follow along. For this class you will need:

• A text editor (we use Dreamweaver CS5.5 in the classroom)
• A web browser

This class runs 10am-5pm over two consecutive days, unless otherwise specified.
