MY GOALS IN TAKING THIS COURSE

COURSE DESCRIPTION

(In a Nutshell)

Foundational web design, planning and construction with emphasis on web standards, usability and accessibility. Students construct web pages in (X)HTML and CSS using basic text-editing software.Topics include analysis of how and why a website succeeds or fails, aesthetics and visual design for web, planning, creation, uploading and registration of sites, troubleshooting, search engine optimization and basic marketing strategies.

Simply put, to learn website creation from code without reliance on a program. Also because I felt that I wanted to be able to over ride a design program when things didn't want turn out the way I wanted them too. Mostly though, because I wanted to be able to create dynamic advertisements on sites that allow you to post ads in html (Craigslist and such) and also because I wanted to be able to create and send dynamic emails as an advertising method without relying on eCards.
