Course Reflection
When I began this class, I had not worked with HTML since 1998. Even then, I was not creating whole webpages with code. I was using HTML to create print documents for a publishing house. So my experience in this subject was close to nil. I really enjoyed this class and everything I learned. I embraced the projects and found I have a knack for coding. I wouldn't mind learning more and increase my front-end development skills. Unfortunately for me, this is the only coding class we have available for the ICM MS program. I plan on further developing my coding skills by continuing to study the resources provided in this class.
A few of my favorite webpages that I created this semester.
For my final project, I created a website that showcases my work in various mediums. It is formatted as a news website. Since the majority of my professional work has been as a journalist, I wanted a place where I could show my work in a more interesting and compelling way.
My grandmother is 83 years old and is an excellent cook. She has tried to pass down her recipes by compiling them in a document. However, my family and I had a hard time replicating the results. I came up with the idea to showcase Grandma's cooking on a website. I created a website that includes a video of her giving instructions on how to make our favorite dishes, along with the recipe. The page isn't complete, but it's a nice start. The idea was a hit with my family.

I am also proud of the work I did learning PHP and putting it into action. On my class website, I created a form that then list the feedback below.
