I have always been interested in learning how to create a website and to code. I have practiced a little bit with some minor HTML creation such as this assignment and other projects, but I still have much to learn. My Goals in taking this course is:
I started learning how to make basic webpages online. I realized I had a lot to learn. Fortunately, there was a lot of helpful resources online. I watched many instructional videos such as this YouTube tutorial titled How to Make a Super Simple Website.
I realized that it may be beneficial to go to college and learn more information, specifically about coding and web design. I began my pursuit for a formal education at MATC two years ago. After I completed the IT Computer Support Specialist Program at Milwaukee Area Technical College, I decided to continue my quest for knowledge here at UW Milwaukee. I chose to go to UW Milwaukee because they have a good reputation and are the closest School of Information Studies near me. They also have a very influential mission statement.
