So I finally got my book - a week later than I wanted it - Learning Web Design by Jennifer Niederst Robbins. I paged through the first four chapters and it seems ok, but what is it with all of these books being geard towards beginning web designers? The class is Website Development 1 and I know plenty of html to do it blindfolded.
The problem? No one else taking this course knows anything much about HTML or Cascading Style Sheets for that matter. That is why I've ended up with beginner books. If I am working a decent paying job before the courses are over - Graduation March 2008 - I am calling my advisor to see if I can get started in the next set of courses for Web Design & Interactive Media Associates Degree. After taking 12 courses for a Web Design certificate/diploma there are 9 classes that I should not have to retake. Which reminds me, I should email my academic advisor to see if that really is the case or if I would have to retake them - which would extremely piss me off.
Anyway, the book isn't bad, it's just... beginner level. I want something that gives me a challenge. This does not. Perhaps the portfolio class will. Laters.
