PySIG, February 2010
    Amoskeag Business Incubator, Manchester NH
    (Detailed agenda and driving directions to follow)

Featured presentation:  Cascading Style Sheets, by Ted Roche
   "Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow developers and web page
    authors to add color, font effects and layout to the hypertext
    markup language that describes the content and structure of
    the HTML document. CSS can be applied in layers, switched out
    depending on conditions, or used to specify print vs. screen
    media. "Introduction to CSS" will look at how CSS works:
    selectors, style declarations, the CSS Box model, positioning
    elements with CSS, and wrap up the basics with a review of
    the rules that make CSS cascade: order, inheritance and
    specificity.

    "We'll also have a quick preview of what to anticipate in
    HTML5 and the latest CSS (2.1 for IE8 and 3 for the rest of
    the world)."

    Ted Roche is a Senior Member of the ACM, a Certified MySQL
    Developer, and a LAMP developer/consultant at

    The usual invitations and Q&A for beginners;

    perhaps some reports on PyCON 2010 Atlanta (hint, hint?)
