Hello, my name is Julian Hines. I'm twenty-two years old, live in Santa Rosa and I have experience in computer programming and a basic understanding in C++. After taking all of the CS10 classes at the SRJC (CS10A, CS10B, and CS10C), I'm on my way to my goal of transferring to Sonoma State University, from which I will work my way to get a degree in Computer Science. My dad had told me a couple of years ago that Computer Science is an growing industry and that people get paid a lot of money in that field. I now know that some jobs pay more highly than others, depending on the jobs; although, to be honest, I don't know all of the jobs that are in computer science field, except software programming. However I now know I have to try to learn as much as I can. Also, does anyone know if the computer science field is oversaturated? I watched some videos about it online but I'm not sure if it is true.
I'm taking this class to learn about how webpages are created. This is interesting to me because I think knowing how to make websites is useful. I've heard about HTML but I don't think I have heard about CSS.
One thing that fascinates me about Web Development is the ability to create and design webpages for other people to see. Creating new things for people to enjoy and learn from sounds really fun and like something I could as a career.
The most difficult thing to understand was probably the few ways to label HTML elements. For instance, the id tag, and especially the descendant tag, threw me for a loop. I couldm't figure out how they worked. Eventually, I found the id tag to be simple, all I have to do is label a HTML tag declaration with a name and a specific element, then give that tag declaration with HTML attributes. Then, in the HTML page, use the tag within the same kind of HTML element and type, after the element, like the p tag or any of the others, type id="nameofid." Descendant is difficult to understand, however I do know it is useful for lists and things that stay in things like div elements.
The most surprising thing I learned was that American black bears are are not territorial. I suppose, since I haven't reseached further, that bears just wander where they like. I would have thought bears were, yet these big animals who eat other animals and berries just sort of mind their own business. Unless, they are confronted with a danger.
