7360 Introduction to Web Development

If you've never created a website from scratch, Intro to Web Development is for you. The course will help you learn basic web page design and authoring skills, along with browser/server interaction, directory management, and other technical skills. You will also learn to evaluate your website's impact on communication, understanding, and accessibility.

This was one of my first college classes to take in almost nine years and the only code I had written was DOS. I was able to create a web page from a blank sheet! I have always been interested with HTML coding, but had no experience with it at all. This course was structured so that I was able to learn the parts of a page and then combine all those small parts into a full web page design. I learned how to write code that would be viewable regardless of the browser used. I learned how to make a web page accessible for all learners and the importance of what a web page communicates to the public. The basic concepts of good web design will give me the knowledge to prepare web pages that are not only functional, but efficient as well. Although I'm far from being an expert, I learned enough to enable me to create web pages. I hope to take another class to further my web development skills. I'm responsible for the upkeep on our school web page so this class will has been very useful for my web page duties. My final project was to re-design our current web page. This project is listed under the artifacts, and although, it isn't a complete product it is a start. This course will help me tremendously.
