Website

After looking at different websites from people at the class, I have to say all of them were really nice and aesthetially pleasing. The 3 websites that I liked the most were from Jeanna Goodrich, James Coon, and Luke Caldarera. Jeanna's website was really proffesional, she had a really great website that was just awesome. I really admired the great work she always does on class.
I liked James' website because it had great background pictures, and all went along with a baseball theme. Luke's website was really well done, had great pictures, and I liked the way he managed to portray all his traveling pictures!
It was a great experience to make my own website, I though at beggining it was going to be really difficult but it wasn't that hard. It had some difficulties but I really enoyed making my own website. Please feel free to visit my website at http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~jjaramil/!

Why HTML is important?

Nowadays, internet is one of the principal ways of communication around the world. It has become an essential tool for the majority of daily activites of people everywhere. That is why web designers have become extremley important and although there are many programs that facilitate the creation of web pages, it is important to know the HTML code because it is the background of everything. Even though most of the times people won't need to seek help of the HTML code, any specific error in a web page can be easily changed if the web designer know and understands the basic of the codes. It is important because it is a map of everything that the web contains and definitely it is great for creating and improving designs. Colors can be tested with just different codes, and things can become easier in certain aspects.

Powepoint Presentations

After watching many wonderful PowerPoint presentations I face myself with the tough decision of choosing which two were the best ones. As many people agree, definitely Jeanna Goodrich's presentation was extremely original with many effects that made of it unique as well as aesthetically pleasing. With great background pictures, amazing photos, and highly elaborated animations, she was able to make a really well-done presentation of her job interest: Postal Office.
Another presentation that was really well done, was the one made by Ashley Conway, I believe that her background picture, as well as her information made of her presentation one of the top ones. I really enjoyed the fact that she portrayed the professionalism of communication with her presentation. Overall, I think everyone did an awesome work and I dare to say everyone enjoyed making these presentations!
