My Goals in taking this course:
My main goal in taking this class is to become more comfortable with the knowledge, writing, understanding and execution of CSS style sheets and XHTML. When I say "comfortable" I mean I would like to have this language down-pat and memorized backwards and forwards. The purpose of this goal...to gain employment. I enjoy design and the explosiveness of the combination of typography and design on a printed piece. So in learning HTML I hope to transfer my skills and talent in design to this wonderful, colorful, instant, mobile palette called the world wide web.
Stay tuned...through the weeks I hope to be able to grasp this language and manipulate the content of HTML with these CSS style sheets and create magic.
