I am glad we are taking these three courses together because what we learn in one, helps with the others. It was helpful to learn the basic HTML since we are also peeking at Action Script. Also, it is helpful that we discuss image file types in multiple classes - that has always been confusing to me, but I think I now have a better idea of the plus and minus of gifs and jpgs.
I think we are very fortunate to be taking these classes at this time! As Kimberly discussed, there are still areas of incompatibility between hardware and software, but this is much less of a problem than even a few years ago! The software tools we have to work with are very advanced compared to what was generally available in the recent past. Of course this means that it is challenging for novices to learn these tools (e.g. Flash), but I am sure the effort will be well worth it. The Lynda.com and other videos are very helpful and a great resource.
It has been challenging for me to come up with project ideas Also my ideas seem to be too big for the assignment criteria and time frame and especially because my skill level is not yet up to my ideas. It is very helpful to see the examples from previous students, but it is also intimidating.
