Daniel Scott
Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.
Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Transcript
You're going to learn everything you need to create a website. Starting at your very first page, all the way through to uploading it to the internet. We're going to use the world's most popular, and surprisingly free, Web Design Tool called Visual Studio Code. There are downloadable exercise files so that you can follow along with me in every video.
At the end of each video as well, I'll save where I'm up to, so that in case you get lost, or something's not quite right, you can compare your files with my files. It's a nice easy way to make sure you don't get lost.
We'll cover all of the good stuff, like how to create your very own Burger menu from scratch, using some basic JavaScript and jQuery. We'll learn how to work with responsive images and icons, plus fancy full screen background images, and probably one-too-many gradients.
You'll learn how to create forms, and how to choose great fonts for your website. We'll learn how to work with Bootstrap 4. You'll actually set up your own domain name and hosting. We'll upload it live to the internet so other people can see your site.
Throughout the course I set some fun class projects, so that you can practice everything you're learning in the course. By the end of this course you're going to have a really good understanding of the important web design topics, like HTML5, CSS3, Flexbox, Responsive Design, Bootstrap.
If that all sounds a bit scary and a little bit fancy, don't worry, this course is aimed at complete beginners. So you don't need any experience in Web Design. You don't need to have coded a single line in your whole life. We're going to start right at the beginning and work our way through step-by-step.
So who am I? My name is Daniel Scott, and I've been a Web Designer for about 15 years now. I'm also an award winning instructor. For the last two years in a row, I've won a Max Masters award at the massive Adobe MAX Conference. I also have great glasses and a cool t-shirt. I'm pretty sure, just this combination on its own should make me qualify, maybe.
If you're finally ready to upgrade yourself, sign up for the course, and let's build responsive websites together.
