I took this class in order to create my own individual and customized website for my new photography business. I had some programming background, namely C++ and Java, as well as a little self-learned HTML. I felt that I could offer a better and more complete service to my clients by designing my own website instead of merely using a standard template. I have learned a great deal from this class and have already signed up for Build II! I am excited to start transferring my new skills over to my website.
