Doing Fine at Web Design!

Struggling with web design? A good way to learn tactics and strategies to help yourself out is to simply google it! There are tons of great websites that can help you get on track to the best web designing of your life!

For example, the website: https://www.creativebloq.com/web-design/training-online-resources-812225 is a great source for finding the best training for web design by giving readers 22 different options to choose from.

Some of my favorite resources from the article are Codeacademy and Udacity.

Codeacademy:

Codeacademy is helpful because it is not only free, but it is a super easy way to teach yourself code. It shows you how to do everything from “building websites, games, and apps in an engaging way.” To try a free trial of code academy use this link to the website: https://www.codecademy.com/pro/membership?msclkid=7dfca0fd67a81d62c879fe7c15eef93b&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=US_Brand_Core_Exact%20(Auto%20Tagging)&utm_term=codecademy&utm_content=US_Brand_Core_Exact%20(Auto%20Tagging)

Udacity:

I really liked the clean layout of Udacity because it was very simple and easy to use and navigate. The cool thing about Udacity is that it is led by expert professors from Stanford and the University of Virginia, so you know you’re getting great information.

Switching to Online

As we all transition our classes online due to the corona outbreak and shut down of campuses all across the nation. This made me think about how things would be if this class was taught completely online. While online classes may be convenient during this time, I personally prefer in person lectures for classes like CA 260.

Reasons why this class is better in person:

• This class is mostly based off of learning the skills of HTML code, and that is best explained with someone right there to answer any questions and to make sure you are doing it correctly.
• It also helps to have students next to you to bounce ideas off of, and to boost creativity.

I really enjoyed all that I learned while taking my classes in person at South, and I feel like we aren’t getting the same education as we would be getting if we were in class right now.
