Computer experience -
Since my father works as a computer programmer, I have been around computers all my life. While some families are glued 24/7 to the TV, our family is stuck on computers.
I've taken the beginning HTML/CSS courses (50.11), Principles of Screen Design, and Adobe program courses. I am strictly a PC person (religiously anti-Mac).
I've only created a few websites; for my classes, one simple site for a client, and one Flash site for a friend in New Mexico.
I start this class apprehensively, because I'm afraid I have forgotten everything I learned about HTML over the summer. Lately I've been feeling very limited in my abilities and not very confident. Therefore, I hope that this class is a good refresher course that doesn't go too fast, and you will be patient with me.
Hobbies and Interests
I started off college as a Japanese major. I'm passionate about East Asian language and pop culture (namely Japanese and Korean), and general linguistics.
I also enjoy writing sci-fi/fantasy stories.
