Web Desighn

Web Designing is getting easier and easier as each day passes with web-authorizing software such as Expression Web or Dreamweaver available. However these are great products for the creation of web sites the importance of knowing how to use HTML codes can not be over looked. While using a program such as Dreamweaver the lack of knowledge of HTML codes can come to hurt you. If the program has some sort of error and is not working properly the only way to restore your web site and continue designing it is through HTML codes. Although they seem very complicated they are a actually quite the contrary. Once you get a hang of the coding patterns and language which only takes a few minutes then using an HTML code can be as fast as using a high tech program. Although programs such as Dreamweaver make it easy to create web sites the importance of knowing how to use HTML codes can never be overlooked.

Power Point

The power point presentations were very interesting and showed a great range of knowledge of the subject. It was awesome to see everyone present so well and use many of the key ideas that we learned through researching the subject. Some which I found to be very powerful were those of Ralph who was able to include very powerful music and turn a somewhat simple topic to be meaningful in many other aspects of life. Over all the presentations were very interesting and entertaining and I loved all of them.

Chris Nolan

Chris Nolan's presentation one of the most interesting presentations I have ever seen. Every month there are billions of searches which go threw google and other search engines and to learn how they work was enlightening and gave me a better understanding of how to search. The most important thing I learned from the presentation was that not all sights on google or other sights can be trusted especially when it comes to research of a topic. Often times people post there view rather then facts about things which makes researching a little risky. He taught me that using google scholar or Informine which is University of California's scholastic search engine are mush better ways to get academic information which is reliable and factual. Overall I loved the presentation and learned so much from it and am now much more knowledgeable on how to get information off of the web.
