Presently I am enrolled in Digital Media associate degree program, web track. My current profession is a web developer. It is one of the few steps towards my ultimate professional goal of building successful career in the large company or being a head of my own business. According to my approximate estimation, it would take between five and seven years to reach this goal.
Knowledge that I obtained in this class, I was already familiar with and intensively applied in my career. Information search skills are crucial for me, as I always search for manuals, tutorials, books and learning videos online, in order to improve my knowledge or find solutions for complex programming situations. Understanding of web pages structure and HTML is a fundamental knowledge for those who start their career in web development, as content design, page layouts and their style are directly based on aforementioned skills.
Another task of great importance is to be familiar with diversity of browsers and their versions, for I have to be able to write cross-platform code which will be valid and can run correctly in any browser.
However, understanding of web technologies is significant not only for professionals, but also for average users; lack of computer skills in information society will cause obstructions and reduce quality of work performance. And I would highly encourage those, who think about becoming a web developer, to start learning as soon as possible since they have to cover a vast variety of topics and learn numerous programming approaches, in order to be competitive on a job market.
