When I started this semester, I knew I wanted to get certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP) with a focus on Web-based products—but I was not 100% sure what the specific focus should be. After the first unit on usability and visual design theory, I realized that my first loves, usability and interaction design, would be the natural focus I needed. I guess you could say that spending hours and hours “sitting” in and admiring the css Zen Garden acted as a moment of introspection, my personal zen moment, and my “eye was turned inward” as I found my place in the world of Web design. This course, combined with DGM 2240, Interaction Design, has motivated me to look into pursuing a Master of Science in Communication at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY. If all goes well, my daughter will be studying at Cornell (Veterinary Medicine) and I will be at Ithaca College in three years!
As we progress through the sections on CSS, I am excited about the new skills and abilities that will be added to my resume. The power of a properly formed CSS is staggering! I appreciate that the lessons do not assume I know everything, but instead walk me through the basics towards the goal of mastering CSS rules to design an elegant Web site.
