Resource Description

Elisa Beshero-Bondar's newtFire project development site features syllabi, tutorials, and example work for a number of courses, and serves as an incubator of learning and research collaboration between scholars and students in the Digital Humanities. New and ongoing projects after 2020 reflect Dr. Beshero-Bondar's Digital Humanities work at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, and several reflect collaborations across multiple institutions. Some projects begun before 2020 are led and maintained by faculty, students, or alumni of the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg.

In addition to these project materials, many explanatory guides on markup technologies are also included, providing instruction, reference, and exercises on topics such as XML, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Git, regular expressions, and various other data structuring schemas.
