web site review
May 9th, 2007 by jhg20003
hello all, so i checked out the site and i must say i am ot impressed, it is like your favorites but witha visual instead of a drop box. that is all i have to say about that. Now this i know this was not part of the assignment but I am blogging about it anyway. This blog is like way to late because i was out of town, i went to TTC or Texas Technological College in Waco and most fo the people i met were doing the same program we are here at AI. I praticed the communities of pratice tactic, but i must say i am not impresssed with there work. I saw a lot of CSS this weekend, unfurtunatley i dont know how to read CSS and most of the tutoriail i saw were not helpfull at all. The students are soon to be graduates of this school and seem very proud of there work. But they are in for a rude awakening. Most of them dontknow how to read code, they know how to use interfaces to create websites, but when something goes wrong they cant get anthing else done. I noticed that in most cases they scrap the project and start all over. When i asked were thy got there info they were like our books. I was surprised a the fact that most didnt know they could venture out and find sites that can help them. There work was not impressive and if i knew how to decode CSS then i might have een a better critique. But oh well. Anyways once again i know this was not in our assignment but i flet i had to blog about it. Being exposed first hand to what sanother school is doing with there studnetsn assures me that i made a good choice in picking AI as the school to go too.

Hey man! I am impressed with you - checking out the competition. Very cool, very cool. Not only will we learn to actually code but to design and our instructors are tough on us because they want us to be visual problem thinkers, not just developers or artists. CSS is pretty easy (well the first part of it) I am doing that right now and its cool, not much to it once you learn the basics - from there you go and create amazing things.
I discovered that its best to work on the design stuff first before the coding because like I’m making a B in my class although my code is ok - it’s all about design and development.
I too am happy with my choice to go to AiD. There are cheaper and shorter programs but this one is very good, for what we do.
