Recent Explorations in Web Design

I opted to return to Tri-C West in the Fall of 2007 to further develop my design skills in the areas of web and interactive design. I've decided to begin by learning the fundamentals of web coding by studying HTML/XHTML and CSS. The class also covers a wide range of topics concerning web use in general, history, future trends, etc. This is a very well rounded class, but one that requires much independent study. In lieu of the fact that this is very time consuming , I opted to temporarily suspend my job search and devote time to my studies.
