Proposal

I have been thinking exactly what direction I have wanted to go with my senior digital project. Through the past few years I have jumped from a bunch of different things that I thought I wanted to do but always end up to learn a little of each skill set becoming a jack of all trades master of none. This last year though I seem to be spending a lot of time on web development. I have gone through a bunch of tutorials on virtual machine hosting, content management systems, search engines, and data bases. I find although I can understand a lot of code when necessary to do what I need, I have very weak design and function understanding of html and css. I have my own server to host sites and a couple of real world projects I can work on so I propose building a html/css site from scratch. Then using that as my template to add to a CMS and adding functionality with Java and or Flash. The site I will first work on will most likely be for a Asian restaurant that will give me the opportunity to use some artistic flare and perhaps build 2-3 different self built themes that can be changed. I will be using sites like w3schools The Coding Pad and NetNuts+ to name a few. Hopefully this, along with my other commercial jobs, will be enough to start a portfolio under my own website.
