My plans with the Web

I am an indie developer and I have plans to create a site to act as a Hub for my creative works. I make games and write stories as of now but plan to learn animation in the near future.

I love making things happen on a computer. I have always been facinated by technology but as a kid i loved playing video games too much for my own good. once my son was born, months before i turned 18, i would try to play video games but kept getting this sinking feeling that i was going nowhere on this path. I hastaly decided i needed a skill and started learning to create front end webpages through codeacademy. this was great i discovered i loved making things appear on screen. a year of playing with this goes by when i decide i want to enroll in school to get a degree. i didnt start school till i was 20 about to turn 21, just kept telling myself i have a kid i cant afford it. in the first semester i went in thinking i knew how to code. boy was i wrong. not discounting web development but when i found out what i could do with Java or C# i was taken. next thing i know i made my first frogger style game, in processing. looking back now this crossing game became my go to game to play with new game engine. that final project would change my direction completely as i enjoyed making games. a 2 year journey from consumer to creator. now i play games from time to time but i really look forward to openning Unity and tackling a problem i have presented myself.

I am So excited to learn about Web design!

The top three things i wish to learn in this class are:

  1. Basic Design rules to make my sites look better
  2. SEO, like everything related to this
  3. Refresh my skills with CSS and learn the base CSS Grid
    • Because i didnt really learn it before
    • Also i dont want to rely on bootstrap

I'm Ready
