DCST Hosted web development workshop

The Department of Computer Science and Technology (DCST) hosted the 3-day open source web development training cum workshop. Dr. Alan Loreto, Executive Secretary, gave the rationale of the training during the opening program on June 2.

Mr. Marionito J. Gonzales, an instructor of the department and Open Source Technical Expert (OSTE) for the VSU-iSchools Project, served as the resource person. He provided the participants with the necessary skills on content management for Visayas State University (VSU) website using Joomla.
