Journal 6: Self Reflection

I feel very confident in this course and how I can apply the content to make my work more rich and compelling. HTML are the building blocks of a site and CSS is how you style your content. They work together in tandem to help users navigate a site. It is a good idea to separate HTML and CSS as much as possible so they can be used to make future sites with less work. Tables with invisible borders were originally used to organize content on a site before CSS became the mainstay.

The tables exercise in class was one of the more challenging class labs. I had never used tables in a design and to format them using code had a learning curve. Even though using tables to create a site are a thing of the past, it was good to get a feel of how to use them to organize information. Creating multiple columns and rows is not the easiest. Also, using spans required more intricate code. Here is my link to the assignment: Tables.

Since this is my class I am taking before I start my thesis project, I am trying to soak up as much tools and tactics as possible. I need to be able to create a compelling culminating project and I look forward to the challenge with my new skills!
