This course is the initial phase in a profound understanding of web technologies and the unlimited exploration thereof. With several years of experience, I still find myself wondering about the vast plains of old, new and upcoming code and their capabilities. My goal is not to teach you every piece of technology out there but to help you become acquainted with the terrain; sharing with you the tools and skills that have helped me journey into the unknown. A modern day Lewis and Clark exploration--you don't know what lies ahead but you will have the tools and skills to succeed.
My name is Bryant Ruelas and welcome to Web Dev 101. I hope you enjoy this course and find the passion, love, and excitement that I've found since my introduction to the web. The style of teaching I will implement will shift away from the typical, "I teach you read" to a "let's build something" kind of style.
Because you can easily find book knowledge and literature on any given code--pretty much anywhere--we will take more of a "hands-on" approach and make something a little more tangible. Still, I encourage you to pick up a book, read an article or watch online tutorials for your general knowledge. We will create user interfaces to edify your understanding of the web in practical real-world examples. If some portions of the lesson become difficult or confusing, I encourage you to keep going.

Note: My experience with computers in regards to web development and design has been incubated on the Mac OS ecosystem. However, I grew up on windows and the OS still runs somewhere in my cognitive circuitry. Please bear with me as I try to foster a learning environment that works for both types of users.
