Leo translates apprenticeship training as berufsbegleitender Unterricht which is pretty much what this page should be about: Seminars for people who perform typical webmaster tasks as part of their job (at the MPDL). Since we got specialists on all sorts of web development on board, it shouldn't be too hard to recruit trainers.
Goal: Clicking "view source" on any web page should become second nature.

- Tools: Firebug, validators,et al.

What's a website made of?[edit]
The first thing to understand for a webmaster is what parts is a website made of and which ones can be manipulated.
The Meat[edit]
HTML
The Style[edit]
CSS
The Moving Parts[edit]
JavaScript
The Transport Layer[edit]
Last but not least: HTTP
Which systems do we have in use?[edit]
... and how can we poke around in them?
- The MPDL hosts a couple of blogs using a WordPress μ installation.
- The HTML of a blog's pages is created by a PHP web application, using templates which are grouped in themes. To manipulate the HTML, theme files have to be edited and uploaded to the server.
- The CSS for a blog is also part of the theme, so the same procedure as above applies.
- The HTTP responses can mainly be manipulated via Apache httpd configuration.
Resources[edit]
- Google's webmaster blog http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/
- Jakob Nielsen's website on usability http://www.useit.com/
- Practical Tips for Government Web Sites (And Everyone Else!) To Improve Their Findability in Search http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/04/practical-tips-for-government.html
