This week we had our first introduction to HTML, CSS and Javascript. I had fun playing with a little bit of HTML code on my "Learning Proposal" page. I think it's a good HTML practice for me and I want to do more. I haven't had a chance to play with CSS and Javascript much. I managed to do exercises with no major problems. I was also able to upload my "Learning Proposal" successfully to the FTP server using the FTP client which I have set up on my machine at home.
As an interface designer I really want to be good at CSS and Javascript. To me, the power of CSS gives designers the freedom to express their design and creativity into the web platform. My knowledge of website design came from laying out pages using HTML tables, which as we all found out it's the wrong thing to do! I didn't know any better then. Now, I know that I need to learn CSS and be good at it to expand my creativity to the web platform. I have seen some beautiful websites done using CSS. These websites have inspired me of what you can do with CSS to create a powerful design for your site.
Javascript, as I understood it, allows me to create interactive elements in my sites. This is also very important to me. Creating and interactive sites is one of the many challenges that I need to learn. It gives the sites so much better user experience when it is used appropriately. It promotes users engagement to your site which I find exciting and challenging at the same time.
I hope through the course of this semester, I will be able to learn as much as I can about HTML, CSS and Javascript.
