From basic to brilliant, a workshop exploring

this workshop demystifies using the new age
of Web 2.0 online services instead of desktop
applications, and details how storing data
online rather than onto one's desktop or

effectiveness and value of the information
being created, stored and/or distributed
among the community. Taught by Rolando Brown
of the Hip Hop Association.
