<h2 style="border-bottom: 0;">What</h2>
Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript - and put them to good use! This class, taught by [[User:JeffreyATW|Jeffrey Carl Faden]], is aimed at beginners who are interested in web development, as well as seasoned professionals looking to brush up on the latest and greatest.

Front-end web development is all about making code that runs in the browser (versus code that runs on the server). There isn't a big focus on web design (creating wireframes and mockups), but we do cover best practices for turning these designs into beautiful code.
</div></div>
<div style="width: 25%; float: left;"><div style="padding: 0 1em;">
<h2 style="border-bottom: 0;">Who</h2>
This class is for '''everyone'''! '''Complete beginners''' and more experienced developers are welcome at any time. If you're new to the class, consider coming to the [[#Lecture|lecture]] at 7:30 for a recap.

==== Class for 2013-11-11: the basics ====
<span style="color:green">'''THIS is the class to attend if you are a complete beginner!'''</span> We are starting the curriculum of this class from square one. We'll cover the very basics:
* Explaining "front-end" vs. "back-end"
* Discussing tools of the trade
* Explaining the separation between structure, presentation, and behavior
* Writing a basic HTML page
* Styling the page with basic CSS
* Explaining the role of front-end web development as a job and career

No recap session for this class. Please show up '''promptly''' at or before 8pm, as physical space is limited. Bring a laptop!

P.S. This might be the last series I teach for a while. I might take a longer break after the end of the series (in about 6 months). We'll see. But if you've been meaning to attend, this is your chance!

71.135.46.228: Community's IRC as a potential for UNexcellent bullying harassment /* Do Not Want */

This page exists to to provide an insight into our shifting morass of community standards. These principles and standards are not necessarily the [[Consensus]] of Noisebridge, and anyone can edit this page at any time. Hopefully, the community can ensure that this page continues to reflect what we think.

The only hard and fast rule of Noisebridge is to [[Vision#Excellence | '''be excellent to each other''']], further claified by a consensus decision to enact an [[The Anti-Harassment Policy | anti-harassment policy]]. Everything else is ''dicta''.

= Purpose =

* Noisebridge is a place for hacking, hackers, and learning to hack.
* Noisebridge operates by do-ocracy and consensus.
* The [[Noisebridge Vision]] describes what we are for, and what we are about.

= Disagreement =

* If you disagree with your fellow hacker it would be excellent to [[Conflict Resolution | work out your differences]] with them.
* If you cannot work out your differences one-on-one, it would be excellent to work out your differences through [[mediation]].

= Entrance and Membership =

* You do not need to be a Regular Member to hack at Noisebridge or to participate in the community here.
* It is [[Noisebridge_Vision#Excellence | excellent]] to take responsibility for the actions of anyone you invite or let into Noisebridge.
* It is [[Noisebridge_Vision#Excellence | excellent]] to use the resources of Noisebridge to hack and to actively participate in the community.
* You are actively encouraged to consider becoming a Regular or Associate Member of Noisebridge as described in the [[Membership | Regular Membership]] and [[Associate Membership]] pages.

= Conflict and Emergency =
* [[Conflict_Resolution]]
*We want Noisebridge to be a welcoming experience for everyone who visits.
*We don't have absolute hard-and-fast rules. We do have [[Guidelines|a page on the Wiki]] that lists some guidelines that have proved useful predictors of whether you will annoy people.
*Please respect your fellow hackers by not disparaging them based on unfair grounds such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and income or lack thereof; and by not making uninvited sexual comments toward others.
*If someone asks you to leave them alone or to otherwise stop a behavior that is directed toward them, please do so. Continued unwanted behavior directed toward another person is [[Harassment]].
*People who harass others or cause multiple complaints of disrespectful behavior may be asked to leave.
** It is considered [[Vision#Excellence | excellent]] to [[Do-ocracy | do-ocratically]] remove someone who is disrupting Noisebridge, or is clearly dangerous to others.
*** If someone asks you to leave, it is generally better to leave and return at the next Tuesday [[Meeting|meeting]] than it is to refuse to leave and possibly escalate the conflict into a [[Drama | hurtful exchange]].
*** If you remove someone like this, you should email [[mailinglist|noisebridge-discuss]], and raise it at the [[Meetings | next meeting]].
***If someone is removed from the space like this, they shouldn't return to the space except to work out the issue that resulted in their removal, either through [[mediation]], or by attending the [[Meetings | weekly meeting]].

If you wish to report harassment or other inappropriate behavior anonymously or privately, you can send a message to secretary@noisebridge.net

= Do Not Want =

* [[Sleeping | Noisebridge is your hackerspace, not your home]]. Living here is definitely [http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/The_Roommate_Anti-Pattern an anti-pattern], so don't even try to do this!! If money is a problem, have a look at our page of [[Starving hackers | starving hacker resources]] for ways to get around and crash if you're short on cash.
* [[Harassment | Don't be creepy]]. Harassment is '''totally''' unacceptable, at any time.
* With the exception of Noisebridge's [[The_Anti-Harassment_Policy | Anti-Harassment Policy]] as it directly applies to person-to-person bullying within the space itself, no clear [[Consensus_Process | consensus]] has yet been reached on [http://www.overcomebullying.org/cyberbullying.html adult cyberbullying] on the [[IRC | NB IRC chat]] and [[Mailinglist | NB discussion mailing list]]. Since the correlation is arguably strong between cyberbullying and [[ Drama | dramatic events]] that have unfortunately occurred in the space during the recent past, it's clearly best to avoid both person-to-person '''and''' cyber bullying.
* Conflict: Please see our [[Conflict_Resolution | Helpful hints on human interaction]].

= Why Publish These Standards =

It is important for regular users of the space to be aware of the purpose of Noisebridge. If people want to use the space and have no interest in or respect for hacking, this does not mean they are automatically unwelcome at Noisebridge, but they should thoroughly understand that their possibly '''UN'''[[Noisebridge_Vision#Excellence|excellent]] use of the space is tangential to its key purpose. Consideration of such users' ability to remain at the space will be given over to [[Consensus_Process | consensus discussion]] and is ultimately at the discretion of the membership and other stakeholders.

Intro Poster created as an Orientation Packet:

<blockquote>
Noisebridge Orientation Packet<br />
https://noisebridge.net<br />
2169 Mission St., 3rd floor<br />
San Francisco, CA 94110-1219<br />
<br />
'''Noisebridge''' is a physical space open and welcoming to all regular members, associate members, properly validated guests and new visitors, providing infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for any of the above interested in programming, hardware, crafts, science, food, robotics, art, and technology. We teach, we learn, we share. With no leaders, we have typically promoted a single overriding rule: "Be excellent to each other".<br />
<br />
'''Our Name:''' A "noise bridge" is a piece of electronic test equipment that injects noise into a system to see how it responds, so you can fix or improve it. Such a device is often used in RF electronics.<br />
<br />
'''Getting Here:''' Noisebridge is close to the 16th & Mission BART station, and the 14 Mission, 33 Stanyan, and 49 Van Ness-Mission Muni buses. The 22 Fillmore and 12 Folsom Muni buses are within a couple blocks.<br />
<br />
'''Do I need to be a member?''' Noisebridge is open to all regular members, associate members, properly validated guests and new visitors, however Noisebridge runs off of regular membership dues and donations. Regular membership is $80 a month (or a $40 “starving hacker” rate) and allows you to vote at meetings. Associate members don't pay dues, but cannot vote at meetings have much more limited benefits such as If you aren’t a regular member but regularly use the space, please feel free to consider dropping off a few dollars in the donation bin near the entrance, or set up a regular monthly donation for a smaller amount.<br />
<br />
'''Meetings''' are every Tuesday at 8pm at the 2169 Mission space. [[Meetings]] are mostly for organizational and planning purposes although anyone who might consider getting more involved with Noisebridge is definitely encouraged to attend these.<br />
<br />
Anytime that regular members or associate members are present is a good time to '''introduce yourself'''. Come on up, tell others about your interests, or ask people what projects they are working on.<br />
<br />
'''Where can I find out more?''' The wiki is at https://www.noisebridge.net. The “Noisebridge-discuss” email list (and other lists) at https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo<br />
<br />
'''What can I do here?''' Meet techie, arty, and crafty folks, take a class, teach a class, use the power tools and electronic labs, build something out of stuff on the hack shelves, use our library, surf the web, cook up something in the kitchen, and so on.<br />

<blockquote>
Noisebridge Orientation Packet<br />
https://noisebridge.net<br />
2169 Mission St., 3rd floor<br />
San Francisco, CA 94110-1219<br />
<br />
'''Noisebridge''' is a physical space open and welcoming to all regular members, associate members, properly validated guests and new visitors, providing infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for any of the above interested in programming, hardware, crafts, science, food, robotics, art, and technology. We teach, we learn, we share. With no leaders, we have typically promoted a single overriding rule: "Be excellent to each other".<br />
<br />
'''Our Name:''' A "noise bridge" is a piece of electronic test equipment that injects noise into a system to see how it responds, so you can fix or improve it. Such a device is often used in RF electronics.<br />
<br />
'''Getting Here:''' Noisebridge is close to the 16th & Mission BART station, and the 14 Mission, 33 Stanyan, and 49 Van Ness-Mission Muni buses. The 22 Fillmore and 12 Folsom Muni buses are within a couple blocks.<br />
<br />
'''Do I need to be a member?''' Noisebridge is open to all regular members, associate members, properly validated guests and new visitors, however Noisebridge runs off of regular membership dues and donations. Regular membership is $80 a month (or a $40 “starving hacker” rate) and allows you to vote at meetings. Associate members don't pay dues, but cannot vote at meetings have much more limited benefits such as If you aren’t a regular member but regularly use the space, please feel free to consider dropping off a few dollars in the donation bin near the entrance, or set up a regular monthly donation for a smaller amount.<br />
<br />
'''Meetings''' are every Tuesday at 8pm at the 2169 Mission space. [[Meetings]] are mostly for organizational and planning purposes although anyone who might consider getting more involved with Noisebridge is definitely encouraged to attend these.<br />
<br />
Anytime that regular members or associate members are present is a good time to '''introduce yourself'''. Come on up, tell others about your interests, or ask people what projects they are working on.<br />
<br />
'''Where can I find out more?''' The wiki is at https://www.noisebridge.net. The “Noisebridge-discuss” email list (and other lists) at https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo<br />
<br />
'''What can I do here?''' Meet techie, arty, and crafty folks, take a class, teach a class, use the power tools and electronic labs, build something out of stuff on the hack shelves, use our library, surf the web, cook up something in the kitchen, and so on.<br />
<br />
'''Events, workshops, classes!''' Every week there are lots of activities at Noisebridge, planned and otherwise. Check the wiki for upcoming events, workshops, and classes. And feel free to add your own!<br />

Noisebridge Orientation Packet<br />
https://noisebridge.net<br />
2169 Mission St., 3rd floor<br />
San Francisco, CA 94110-1219<br />
<br />
'''Noisebridge''' is a physical space open and welcoming to all Full Members, Associate Members, properly validated guests and new visitors, providing infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for any of the above interested in programming, hardware, crafts, science, food, robotics, art, and technology. We teach, we learn, we share. With no leaders, we have typically promoted a single overriding rule: "Be excellent to each other".<br />
<br />
'''Our Name:''' A "noise bridge" is a piece of electronic test equipment that injects noise into a system to see how it responds, so you can fix or improve it. Such a device is often used in RF electronics.<br />
<br />
'''Getting Here:''' Noisebridge is close to the 16th & Mission BART station, and the 14 Mission, 33 Stanyan, and 49 Van Ness-Mission Muni buses. The 22 Fillmore and 12 Folsom Muni buses are within a couple blocks.<br />
<br />
'''Do I need to be a member?''' Noisebridge is open to all Associate Members, properly vouchsafed guests and new visitors, however Noisebridge runs off of Full Membership dues and donations. Full Membership is $80 a month (or a $40 “starving hacker” rate) and allows you to vote at meetings. If you aren’t a Full Member but regularly use the space, please feel free to consider dropping off a few dollars in the donation bin near the entrance, or set up a regular monthly donation for a smaller amount.<br />
<br />
'''Meetings''' are every Tuesday at 8pm at the 2169 Mission space. [[Meetings]] are mostly for organizational and planning purposes although anyone who might consider getting more involved with Noisebridge is definitely encouraged to attend these.<br />
<br />
Anytime that Full Members or Associate Members are present is a good time to '''introduce yourself'''. Come on up, tell others about your interests, or ask people what projects they are working on.<br />
<br />
'''Where can I find out more?''' The wiki is at https://www.noisebridge.net. The “Noisebridge-discuss” email list (and other lists) at https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo<br />
<br />
'''What can I do here?''' Meet techie, arty, and crafty folks, take a class, teach a class, use the power tools and electronic labs, build something out of stuff on the hack shelves, use our library, surf the web, cook up something in the kitchen, and so on.<br />
<br />
'''Events, workshops, classes!''' Every week there are lots of activities at Noisebridge, planned and otherwise. Check the wiki for upcoming events, workshops, and classes. And feel free to add your own!<br />
<br />
Noisebridge is a fairly '''open and permissive space''' for Full Members, Associate Members and properly validated guests, and the equipment (unless otherwise marked, or on a member shelf) is open for their use. Safety first! Feel free to come to Noisebridge to work and play on your project, or help others with theirs.<br />
<br />
Noisebridge has '''significant space''' available as a community resource for properly validated individuals and organizations to use -- please use it!<br />
<br />
'''Can I leave my stuff here?''' A good response to this and similar questions can be found within our [[Guidelines]]. Noisebridge is theoretically open to the public at-large, so use your judgment when leaving valuables here. Noisebridge is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please label your boxes and other items left here with your name, email, and the date. Avoid leaving your bicycle here overnight.<br />
Full Members can leave items on their labeled member shelf for an extended period.<br />

Guidelines

71.135.46.228: qualifying the nature of NB's non-Rules /* General Intent */

= General Intent =

Noisebridge's [[Vision]] eschews the use of hard-and-fast rules, which is why these are called Guidelines. Historically, the membership has noticed that certain actions are good for the space and other actions [[Drama|cause problems]]. This is a list of guidelines to help you determine whether something you're considering is a good idea.

We're not Wikipedia, but many ideas here are explained much more articulately in Wikipedia's list of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines key policies and guidelines], especially the ideas that it's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTBUREAUCRACY not a bureaucracy], that it operates on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus the basis of consensus], and that ultimately, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules Wikipedia users can ignore rules that don't apply to them].

= The List =

* Talk to people and make friends. Part of the point of Noisebridge is interpersonal interaction, and we want to meet you and learn about whatever cool project you're working on. It's amazing how often random discussions between people at Noisebridge have turned into things that show up on the world stage.
* On the other hand, do be sensitive to people's desire to stop talking and start hacking. If someone starts looking away, returning to their laptop or project, or begins walking away, consider that you might be the Nth person to strike up a conversation with them, and they may want to actually get something done.
* Don't sleep at Noisebridge. It's [http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/The_Roommate_Anti-Pattern an anti-pattern]. If money is a problem, have a look at our page of [[Starving hackers|starving hacker resources]] for ways to get around and crash if you're short on cash.
* Pull your own weight. We don't have housekeeping service, so clean up after yourself and put things away when you're done. In fact, you're going to get a lot of good karma by tidying up twice the amount of space you use on a regular basis.
* Everything in Noisebridge is hackable. If you don't want something taken apart and turned into a giant robot the moment your back is turned, leave it on your shelf, or mark it clearly with your name, a way to contact you, the date, and what you're doing. Even then there are no guarantees -- it's just mildly rude to hack on a labelled thing unannounced, as opposed to positively encouraged.
* If you find yourself having to explain something in the space more than once, you should probably label it.
* If you can't throw something away in a full garbage can, you should probably empty it.
* If you see someone being awesome or something which is awesome, it's awesome in turn to sing its praises. Motivation is a rare commodity among us and a compliment here and there can work wonders in terms of creating more of it. We have a Noticeboard of Excellence by the door which is a good place to leave a semi-permanent thankyou.
* Bringing minors to Noisebridge might result in them being exposed to ideas outside of your control, and you probably shouldn't bring them if that's going to be a problem.
* Bringing pets hasn't historically been a serious problem, since we have a pretty big space and allergic folks can usually relocate. You should still ask around and meet people to find out, though!
* Don't bittorrent from the space, it causes lots of problems for other people trying to use the network. We've also gotten DMCA notices about people snarfing copyrighted content using our links and they're very annoying and unexcellent. Please don't download copyrighted content illegally using our Internet links.
* If you're going to smoke, smoke downstairs on the sidewalk. Don't smoke on the fire escape -- it affects our neighbour's small children, the ash falls down onto the fruit below, and the fire service get mad at us.
* At least one Noisebridge member is seriously allergic to marijuana smoke, so please don't smoke it in the space or nearby.
* Don't talk about politics or religion if you want to avoid conflict. Noisebridge attracts a certain kind of personality that gets irate when they suspect someone thinks they're wrong, and even mentioning you support a different political or religious group than them can really push their buttons if they're having a bad day.
* Going on the roof is, except in narrow conditions that you almost certainly aren't covered by, a violation of our lease agreement. It also causes leaks, and in the past a leak destroyed some irreplaceable artwork belonging to a member. Don't go up there without talking to someone who knows about the lease details.
* Taking stuff from the space temporarily without leaving a note with your contact info is a surefire way to cause problems. Taking stuff permanently, even if everyone agrees it needs to go, can cause tax issues which you should bring up at the weekly meetings.
* Please ask before playing music through the public audio systems, especially if people are quietly enjoying the space.
* Try to keep infodumps to new acquaintances to under a few minutes. Many people at Noisebridge are walking libraries on their field of expertise, but no one likes being fed a textbook through their ears.
* Do not do anything at Noisebridge or involving Noisebridge which could affect a political election campaign, express or implied, incumbent or not. While not illegal, it is grounds for the IRS to revoke our [[Tax exemption|tax exempt status]], no exceptions.
* Noisebridge must not be involved in anything which could affect legislation, with certain limited exemptions. Talk to the [[Board and Officers|officers of the corporation]] for guidance if you are unsure whether your proposed activities will be exempt or not.
