My Goals in Taking This Course:
I originally went to college to get an Associates Degree in Graphic Design, which I did in December of 2009. However since then I have not been able to find a job for several reasons. A lot of places I have been looking for jobs either want you to have at least one of the following, a bachelors degree, 3-5 years of professional experience, or experience with the web. Since I was lacking in some of those requirements I figured I'd better make it up in one area or another. So I chose to go back to college and learn all about HTML and CSS. I want to come out of this class knowing really well HTML and CSS so I can go to potential employers and tell them truthfully that I know how to create and website from scratch.
