I've been learning how to program for some time now. Began way back trying to learn C and stopped shortly after beginning. Years later I learned about Ruby and Python, but life got in the way and I stopped learning after about six months. For the past year I've been focused on Python and Javascript. It's been going well, but there's still much I need to understand.
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Standard Set Answer:
I'm hoping to expand my knowledge of CSS so that I can write better formatted, more readable and browser compatible code.
I am not interested in organizing study groups at this time.
Public Set Answer:
I have written two websites from scratch, one with inline CSS and one with an external stylesheet. The CSS is not pretty to look at, but it acheives what I need it to.
I want to better learn inheritance so I can avoid adding redundant code to my CSS files.
I know CSS, but want to learn better in hopes of landing a job as a front-end developer.

What made you interested in this topic?
-
I developed a love of web design as a teenager. Fifteen years have passed, and I'm still just as fascinated with the tools and techniques used to develop the most cutting-edge interactive experiences as I was when I began in the field.
-
What do you hope to achieve by participating?
-
By participating in CSS: Bliss & Beyond, I hope to achieve regular practice and advancement of my CSS & DOM skillsets for the sake of standards-compliant, efficiently-coded, hierarchical frontend coding.
-
Are you interested in helping with the study group organization?
-
I'm interested in possibly helping with the study group organization, though I definitely need to focus my efforts toward learning that will support my future employment. I'll contribute further as time allows.
Public Set Answer:
-
What is you current CSS background/experience?
-
My current CSS background/experience is comprised of multiple years learning, deconstructing & debugging, coding, and optimizing CSS in a mixture of professional, academic, and personal projects. While the knowledge I've gained has primarily been self-directed, I have undergone some formal training through an Applied Associates degree program in Visual Communications. I'm fluent in CSS1 and CSS2.1, and have begun solidifying my grasp of CSS3.
-
What would you like to see offered from this course regarding CSS?
-
I'd like to see a focus on CSS3, graceful degradation, responsive & fluid layout designs, and maximally efficient accessibility standards.
-
Why do you want to learn CSS?
-
CSS provides a critical means for dividing content from presentation. As I'm interested in dynamically-generated, responsive interface designs, CSS is a crucial tool for achieving resilient, fluid content presentation on the web and mobile devices.

Standard Set Answer:
What made you interested in this topic?
The topic that drew me to P2PU was groups on web design and development. My interest in these areas has been growing along with my realization of the importance of these tools; they're tools used to create, manipulate, and present content/data to a worldwide audience, and like any tools, becoming proficient in their use is the key to success.
What do you hope to achieve by participating?
I hope to achieve a better understanding of the tools I'm interested in, as well as those that are important to my area of interest even though I might never actually use them. I also hope to have fun and partake in group experiences so that I can not only learn from/with others, but also so that others can learn from/with me as well.
Are you interested in helping with the study group organization?
Currently as a novice I'm not sure what I can do, but the answer is far from a 'no'.
Public Set Answer:
What is you current CSS background/experience?
I'm a novice working my way toward intermediate. I've worked through multiple books and have a solid understanding of CSS, how it works, and what its purpose is. I feel comfortable in my editor and reading HTML/CSS. I've recently been focusing on web page layout and have been building custom layouts for random wikipedia pages since they have an abundance of content to be manipulated.
What would you like to see offered from this course regarding CSS?
I'm not 100% sure what to expect, but I'm hoping for a place to study and learn with/from others, as well as possible group exercises to not only challenge us, but give us others to tackle our problems with. All-in-all though, I really want to hone my CSS and design skills and meet other aspiring designers like myself.
Why do you want to learn CSS?
The internet is an amazing thing, and just like every other form of media, it also needs to be visually appealing and have its content laid out in a manner that makes since to the user. I love the idea of learning the tools to create designs that can be seen worldwide. I love the idea of trying to master tools that can allow me to create something on the greatest piece of technology since the printing press. It's incredibly flexible, the only creative limit is the designer (and probably a client, but that's besides the point at the moment), and we have the power to create things that can further help unite the people of the world by bringing them to the same places to share the same interests (sounds cheesy, but it's true).
