Database backed websites - From design to implementation in one week

This course covers using personas in design, using Fireworks for rapid sketching of designs, and building database backed websites. It's intended as a taster to all these topics. It's not expected that everyone will go away from this experts, but it will at least give you a feel for what sort of work is involved in doing each part.

Days 1-2 should be ok for anyone, but probably most challenging for people from a computing background. Days 3-5 are intended for those without prior computing experience, although those with should gain something as well. Those with computing experience should expect to be able to implement a simple functioning site by the end of day 5. Those without should aim to understand the concepts, and have tried to build some simple pages, and a simple database.
