RapidWeaver Classroom “opened its doors” in May 2008, and so I’m excited to have arrived at the 4-year mark this month! It has been a pleasure to offer training to RapidWeaver users these past 4 years, and to have the opportunity to communicate with so many of you and see the websites you’ve created with RapidWeaver. RapidWeaver Classroom began with tutorials covering RapidWeaver 3.6 and a small handful of plugins, and it’s amazing to see how much the app and its add-ons have matured these past years. I still firmly believe that RapidWeaver is an outstanding website development app, and I am very excited to see its continued development in the future.

As a part of our 4-year celebration, RapidWeaver Classroom has received a bit of a face-lift! Of course RapidWeaver Classroom has been, and will always be, built entirely with RapidWeaver. The same theme is still in use, but the graphics have been updated and I’ve taken the opportunity to try some new things with Stacks 2 to redesign the content of the site. One major change is the organization of the curriculum, which is also reflected inside of the members’ area. This change offers a great improvement in how the listing of tutorials is navigated. A special thanks to Marten Claridge for his fresh perspective and inspiration for many of the changes!

Finally, I am very excited to also announce the addition of a completely new section to the Classroom Curriculum. This new section is entitled “Strategies” -- it really deserves its own blog post, so look for more information here soon.
