When I first heard the requirements for GED 512, I was a bit scared to take this course, due to my limited knowledge with web development. However, after completing the first five weeks of this course, I can now see that web development is not as hard as I expected it to be. In these first five weeks I have been able to learn many new things about web development, which deal with html and css. In html, I learned that this form is simply a list of “codes” that tell the computer what the content is in a website. For instance, there is a series of different codes depending on the look you want your website to have, such as p for paragraph, li for list and strong for bold. Also, there is an even bigger list of codes that deal with css that I have learned. CSS is a style page that tells the computer how the website should be viewed. The css component of a html page also has codes, but are much different, because they deal with the look of the website. For instance, some codes are for background color, the type of text and style of the headers. Due to my new knowledge of html and css, I have been able to complete many assignments that have allowed me to use the knowledge I have gained. One assignment that was one of the hardest for me to complete was the very first book exercises we completed, due to the fact that I was not comfortable with html and css. This assignment was creating the Black Goose Bistro website which can be seen here: http://www.cpp.edu/~mctravieso/GED512/book/bistro/
On the other hand, one assignment that was the most rewarding for me was the book assignment where we created a contest entry form. This was the most rewarding due to the fact that I did not think that I would be able to create anything besides a “website” in this course. This assignment can be seen here: http://www.cpp.edu/~mctravieso/GED512/book/contest_entry.html. There are many other assignments that I created, but I am very interested in learning more about web development in order to increase my knowledge.
