1. I feel that Eric Meyer's book was alot more helpful for me throughout this course than Andy Clarke's book because Meyers listed out how to incorporate his help into your site step by step. Clarke's book was not as clear as Meyer's was.
2. I did not take as much advantage of the lynda.com videos as I should have. In the beginning of the course, I went over a few of them. I have also used lynda.com in the past for other classes and it has helped me out alot, especially with IDD 250. I do wish I used lynda.com for this class a lot more though.
3. Clarke's book was slightly helpful for developing a better workflow, but again, I felt that Eric Meyer's book was more helpful with the overall help in creating web designs.
4. From what I got out of Clarke's book, the technical details on CSS was helpful for me. It gave me a better understanding of what CSS actually is and what it entails.
5. Prior to this class, I felt that my workflow and web development skills were not up to par with where I should be in this stage of my college career. I felt that I was maybe a bit unorganized with my ideas and designs. I also did not know much about CSS before this class. This class helped me improve my skills in web development, organize and improve my creative thinking and techniques, and led me towards the right path with what I plan to do out of school. With the professor's help along with the textbooks, I gained a better understanding of web design and the tools needed to maintain a better workflow.

Nadinne Cruz
What I have learned about Nadinne Cruz' presentation was that its always good to be actively involved in community service. When I was younger, I was active in many groups around my town, including helping at a soup kitchen, spending time with less fortunate children at a children's hospital, and helping out at a nursing home with my synagogue. I believe that community service is a way to give back to those in your community. I do not expect anything back from what I have done in the past with community service. Community service comes from the heart. What I also got out of her presentation was the importance of being bold with your ideas. In other words, the bolder the better. In design, bolding your look and feel of your design makes it more attractive and grabs more attention to the eye.
