This course built off of what I had learned in Intro to Web Development using my HTML skills. I used Dreamweaver to build my webpages for this course and I learned about the many different effects I could add to enhance the appearance of my page. I also learned how to use Java Script within my sites to collect information through forms. Professor Hargis was great at guiding me through the learning process and providing help when I needed it. This course was more about developing web sites rather than Intro to Web Development which focused on how the internet works in addition to building web pages. My big take away from this course was that all of the effects that you can add into a page are great, but you have to make sure that the effects and design do not take away from the content.
