Journal Entry #1:Chapter 1-3 Summary
Learning Web Design, 4th Edition Jennifer Niederst Robbins
Summary: Chapter 1 introduces the different types of jobs that make up a website. It also states the different types of languages that a website could compose of. And lastly, it recommends the equipment and software needed to create websites. Chapter 2 goes into more details about the web. It talks about what each part of a web address represents. It also provides the basic format of how to code a website. Chapter 3 points out things to be aware of when creating a website, such as accessibility for all, including viewers with visual or auditory impairment. I have never created a website before. Just reading these three chapters make creating a website look really complicated. I think people who do not have a background in coding or programming do not realize or do not know that a website is composed of words. I, myself, did not know that until a few months ago and even then I did not really think about it until this class. For someone who is not technologically savvy, learning how to create a website sounds pretty fun and interesting so far.
Question 1:Should computer class become a mandatory elective course in schools?
A1: Yes, the younger generation now uses and relies on the internet for pretty much anything and everything. Understanding how the web works and how websites are created and creating one themselves would dramatically increase students' awareness of something they use practically every day.
Question 2:With so many aspects to be aware of when creating a website, what do most people consider the most important?
A1: Speed and site performance. If the website takes too long to download most people do not have the patience to wait. If people do not even reach the website, it is not being seen, which makes everything else moot points.
