Class Progress

When I came into this class I thought that it would just be a repeat of what I took last semester in Web Languages I, needless to say, I was wrong. I know coding pretty well now and I can do almost anything with a site if someone told me exactly what they wanted to do with it. But that it kinda what I want to get away from. For the most part, people don't really know what they want. They may think that they do, but it may not be practical or make much sense. I want to be independent in the design process and be able to know what works and what doesn't as far as design goes. The past two or three lessons have been extremely helpful in that they begin laying out the foundation of a site. Most of the time I just design it as I am coding, I have a rough image in my head that I try to replicate through the code.Now, through use of wire frames and site maps I can make the coding process easier and focus on one thing at a time.

I also have liked the steps we are taking to make our lives much easier in designing websites. It is important to do primary goals, audience, and map out our navigations.

Ah! You lucky soul! I wish I could say I was good at coding! I'm still a novice but trying. :) I agree that we have been learning some valuable things in regards to usability in our design
