Web theming using Diazo

A 1 day course for web developer and designers to learn how to setup a diazo theming server, and transform websites into custom templates and website themes using diazo rules.

Introduction

Diazo allows you to apply a theme contained in a static HTML web page to a dynamic website created using any server-side technology. With Diazo, you can take an HTML wireframe created by a web designer and turn it into a theme for your favourite CMS, redesign the user interface of a legacy web application without even having access to the original source code, or build a unified user experience across multiple disparate systems, all in a matter of hours, not weeks.
