This workshop will cover just about everything to do with microformats. That’s the beauty of such a simple technology: it only takes a single day to become an expert. This won’t be a passive presentation: you will learn not just the theory of microformats; you’ll also get down and dirty with some hands-on markup.
This training course is taught by Clearleft Technical Director, Jeremy Keith. Jeremy is a recognised expert on microformats and semantic markup. By the end of this course you’ll have a full understanding of the power of microformats. Using this knowledge, you will be able to enhance the semantic richness of your web pages. Your users will be able to extract data more easily from your sites, enhancing the user experience.
Get a good grounding in the kind of problems microformats are designed to solve... and find out where the limits of microformats lie (by design). You’ll also find out exactly how microformats are created and learn how you can contribute to the their ongoing evolution.
It’s important to understand the value of meaningful markup before implementing microformats. This will get you thinking about how you should be marking up your content using plain ol’ semantic HTML before adding any microformat magic.
From simple elemental microformats that consist of nothing more than adding an attribute, right up to compound microformats that can be mashed up together, you’ll meet them all.
Just as you can develop a nose for wine tasting, you can also develop a sense for spotting which content is just crying out to be microformatted. Once you’ve learned to see these patterns, you’ll never surf the web the same way again.The different types of usability test and which one is right for you
Using a combination of exercises, this workshop will teach you to how to spice up your content with semantic goodness. If you’re up to the challenge, you’ll have your site fully microformatted by the end of the day.
