Building the Web
The first workshop of the year kicked off in
GDG Birgunj Style, we didn’t expect it to happen so early, and the whole event was planned
within 3 days. Deciding the contents, preparing slides, choosing the GDG
members for presentation, registrations of participants etc all was finalized
in these 3 days.
We did it in such a rush because we saw an opportunity to
kick off, the 3 days holiday at college attracted our senses to hold this event
and we get started.

event primary focus was teaching the attendees all basics about HTML and CSS as
well as about Google tools like Advance search, G Drive, Image search etc.
