Career Development
One foot in front of the other

Well it is April 12th…but of course you knew that! I haven’t blogged in a couple days so I thought I’d come on the ‘ole world wide web and share what I have been up to.
- I recently refined my resume to include my newest award (The Monthly American Design Award).
- I just got two books in the mail (On a side note..doesn’t it feel good to get packages in the mail? It’s like Christmas in April! Yippe!). I just picked up “CSS: The Missing Manual” by David McFarland and “DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model” by Jeremy Keith. I just starting looking through the books and this is what I concluded. Know Document Object Models ( or DOM ). It is VERY useful in web design, especially with the newest W3C standards, it is very viable in web development. It allows you to manipulate and create more dynamic pages on the fly. I have not started the CSS book, but in brushing through it, it seems like a good starter book and something to to refresh and keep the mind sharp.
- I believe I have a couple interviews lined up in the coming weeks. An individual I used to intern with plans on setting me up with a couple interviews with a couple Ad Agencies in San Diego.
That is it for now! I’m currently working on two websites which I’m VERY excited about. Both are coming along nicely and are clean designs and of course valid code. I would like to get these websites done as soon as possible because these websites represent my work a lot better than my current designs.
That is it for now! I’m tired as I just got back from a Gravity class from the boxing club. Review of the Lava Sport and Fitness Clubs coming soon. Hey, I got to switch it up sometimes! :)
Take care everyone and thank you if you stumbled across my blog.
